Tomb of the Unknown Soldier # 4

My father in law Leroy Junior Wagner Junior was buried at Arlington National Cemetary on January 4, 2010. We visited Arlington in 2004 but it was the last stop of a very long day of sight seeing in DC and we never got off the tram. There was about 40 people who attended, it was a very cold day but the traditional ceremony was soul stirring. He is buried in one of the oldest parts of the cemetary. Afterward the immediate family all went to visit Grandpa Wagner, Leroy Junior Wagner Senior who was buried there in October, then the whole group went up to the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, a first for almost everyone there. It was so awesome but we had just missed the changing of the guard and it was too cold to wait the 30 minutes for the next changing of the guard. On the way back to the car we were able to witness the funeral procession of a General, which is quite a site. It is lead by a single drummer, then flags and the casket is carried in by horses, another remarkable site.

Road Trip- Left home at 11:30 am on December 31st, arived in Williamsport PA on the 1st before 7 am. Ate at one new resteraunt but it was just out of necessity, we wanted to eat breakfast before waking up the family and there was no where to chose from. So we ate at the one resteraunt we found open on New Years Day in Williamsport and it sucked. Since I didn't choose to eat there I am not putting it on my list. It was expensive too for breakfast. Laura ordered Scrapple and I tried a bite but it tasted like Funnel Cakes and I don't think it is suppose to so I'm not putting that on my list either. They actually messed up the homefries wich beyond under cooking them I didn't think was possible. Williamsport was by far the most enjoyable part of our trip. The girls played in the snow, built a snowwoman complete w/ "hooters", went sledding and got to play pool and bond w/ cousins (third) their own age. I got to meet and bond with Scott's awesome cousins, Joyce, Shelly and Beth. Spent time w/ Grm, Aunt Fran and Uncle Charles . Had the best steak hoagies I have ever eaten since the last trip to Williamsport, Thanks Beth. Newberry Subs Rocks !!! Wish we had spent more time there. On the 2nd we went to Lexingotn Park MD where Scott's Stepmom and 2 brothers live, we had just a little drama there. (will be my last trip to Maryland). Then to DC on the 4th and home from there.
