Entrance to Washington Crossing National Cemetery

Detour#3 Honoring our Soldiers

Washington Crossing National Cemetery

We detoured to Washington Crossing National Cemetery in Pennsylvania. We made this detour because my maternal uncle died. He was a septuagenarian. My uncle was also a soldier in the United States Army. He served in the Vietnam War. Therefore, we began our trip by honoring our soldiers.

We even traveled across the location named the Washington Crossing. See if you can find this location on Google maps. This is where our first President fought The War of Independence. You can read more about the war by following the link.

Our next stop took us back to our originally planned starting point…but, we detoured again before getting there! Follow the paw-print!

This summer, the Mike and Spike, Spike and Mike roadshow will cross America and connect with people and places that make this country distinctly American. 
Horses will be the animal theme that draw us to the locations of states across America as they were historically the lead animal for transport…(Sure Spike, we won’t forget to visit dogs and create a signature print!). As we travel, the horse theme will transition to horsepower! Horsepower, of course, is now our primary means of seeing our country.
The subsequent theme is sand--yes, sand. Why sand? We will travel from “sea to shining sea” and collect sand from each shore; from the shores of the Assateague Island to the Coronado Islands, and the sand dunes in between. And, actually, these locations used to be called “seas.”
