Headed back to Washington after our Gettysburg experience.  We had opted to do a DC night tour and did not have much time in between to get to the tour.  We quickly ate at The White Apron, which was a soup and sandwich shop.  Then headed to the metro and Union Station.

 It was fun being in the city and seeing all the things you read about.  There were many more things we saw that night and some of those we got back to later in the week.
