Chesapeake Bay

Our first day in Washington we decided to travel out of the city while we still had the car. So we drove to Virginia and went to Mason Neck State Park which is on the Chesapeake Bay. It was beautiful and it was nice to be outside with fresh air and in the sun.


This is the Beaver swamp but we did not see any beavers.







Afterward we went to Manassas, which was were the first battle of the Civil War took place.



This is a statue of good ole Stonewall Jackson. Manassas is where he got his nickname.


This memorial was put up after the battle by veterans.
