October 9, 2015: National Cathedral and Flight 93 Memorial

Today, was our last day in Washington D.C.     We went to the National Cathedral which was simply magnificent. We had a nice tour of the cathedral with is Episcopal.  We drove by Sidwell school which is where the Obama girls attend school.   It is a Quaker school and costs around $37,000 a year.    

Stopped at the Flight 93 memorial in Pennsylvania which was interesting.   The terrorists chose a flight that was less crowded and was staight through as it would be full of gas which would cause the most damage.   If it weren't for these passengers being so brave and trying the stop the terrorists,  there may have been an even greater tragedy.   The new visitors center just opened in September 2015.

We stayed at a hotel in Pittsburgh for the night.
