It was raining today and very muggy. The temperature was 23⁰C (75⁰F). We had a quick breakfast, packed the car and then headed off to Manassas which is a civil war battle site. This is where “Stonewall” Jackson got his name. Dereck and Doug watched a simulated battle while Sue and I walked around the souvenir shop. It was raining too much for us to be able to walk around the site, so we headed off the US Air and Space museum.
The museum was very interesting and there were a lot of planes, missiles and space craft on show, some being the only item ever made.
After lunch we then took Doug and Sue to the airport for them to fly back to London. We have had a great time with them and it was sad to have to say goodbye to them. We then drove through to Bradford, Pennsylvania where we booked into a Best Western motel. After unpacking we took a drive into Bedford to see if we could find a Walmart to buy another suitcase. This Walmart didn’t have a luggage department!! We bought supper at the local deli market and then headed off back to our motel.

Must say, the air and space museum is impressive ... I had a friend who has emigrated to America and she has also mentioned how impressive it was.
