Today we headed south to Clinton, MD to the Mary Surratt House. This is one of those backyard places we have always meant to see. We had a really nice tour with a very passionate docent and learned a lot of history. When we returned to the gift shop, I mentioned how much I always wanted to go on the Booth Escape Tour and it just so happened they had four seats left on the 4/28 tour. We grabbed two and another couple on our tour grabbed the last two.

Afterward, we went to the NASA Rocket Garden and Moon Tree. NASA Goddard research lab features a public visitor center. The moon tree was grown from a seed brought back by Apollo 14. We did not even know this place existed. Apparently, we did not take a picture of the tree so I captured one from the internet. The other pictures are ours. This was a very interesting place especially if you are into space travel. There was a group of school children there when we arrived. Sometimes that is nice because you get to overhear the rangers presentations.
