Today
we went to Yorktown Battlefield. That is where the British surrendered in the
Revolutionary War. Before we went there I had no clue the French helped us. One
of the most interesting things I learned in the museum is that the Americans
attacked a fort with unloaded guns and they just used their bayonets which are
knives attached to the end of a gun. They did that so the soldiers would rush
in faster and it worked. They won the battle. Then we packed up our camper and
drove to Washington D.C. The campsite in D.C. was nice and we were the only
ones there. Finally we had shepherd’s pie for dinner.

Today we went to Yorktown. We read a lot of signs and saw
lots of cannons. There were bumpy hills that I ran up. We also saw a hill with
point spikes coming out of it. Then we got going to Washington D.C. once we got
to our campsite Nick and I went to the playground. Then we had dinner.
