A "quick" drive down I-95 then around the DC Beltway to Alexandria, VA to meet Chofu High School classmates of Kent for a mini mini-reunion.

The Confederate Statue/Appomattox
(1889, by M Caspar Buberl)
The statue was commissioned by the United Confederate Veterans, who foresaw the controversy that would potentially arise over the monument. Thus, they motioned in the same year to have it protected by state law. It has been the victim of a couple of errant cars; you can see it is slightly askew of its base.
