Our trip today was mostly traveling. We got into Newark at midnight and went straight to the hotel to sleep. Sunday morning we left our hotel at 10:30am for Virginia.

It was around a three hour bus ride. We went to the Lord of Life Lutheran Church for practice and dinner.

We went their because because before we had the funds for our hotel rooms they offered their church for housing of us while we were in D.C. It was extremely nice and generous of them.

During dinner we met people from the church and some of the kids in the youth group, it was lots of fun. We are now at the Potomac Mills Best Western Hotel. While we are here we met another band from Sandwich, Illinois.

We were amazed at their town's name and they were amazed we were from Alaska. Its always fun meeting other band kids and hearing about their band.

Tomorrow we set off to the Holocaust Museum/Smithsonian's, site seeing monuments, and having tons of fun.
