Jacob made it thorough the day without being captured digitally as far as I can tell. His day started “with a 2 + plus mile tour of Arlington National Cemetery” where he “experienced the Changing of the Guard at the Tomb of Unknown Soldiers.” Then it was off to a tour of the the Capitol building. I am sure that was interesting. Then they went to the “Smithsonian Museums (American History & Air & Space)” which is an appropriate place to go after the Capitol building. There has to be a display there describing what is done with hot air. <\/p>\n

Enough with the commentary, so we are back to the events. After dinner they “completed a walking tour of the Vietnam, Lincoln & Korean Memorials.” I am sure it was an event filled day. It seems like the saw a lot pf places today. Jacob did report at 9:07 – Washington time – that he was having fun. Quotes are from the official blog that is here<\/a>. <\/p>\n

As for the Hot Air thought, it was the French that actually flew the first manned hot air balloon in 1783. A replica of that type of balloon is at the Smithsonian.
