The Marine Corp Museum at Quantico

We stopped for a few days in Quantico, VA as Jeff was interested in seeing the Marine Corp Museum there.  It was very interesting – they had the museum separated into sections by major war periods starting with the formation of the Marine Corp in 1775, through the Civil War, WWI and WWII, Korea, Vietnam and current time.  They are continuing to add to the museum; at this time a little more than half is viewable.

The museum is very visible from the freeway as it has a large stylized roof that is symbolic of the raising of the flag at Iwo Jima.

Here are pictures we took at the museum:

64-Quantico, VA, RV Park Reviews

We were delighted to find the RV Park here at Quantico, VA makes us feel we’re in the woods

I was pleasantly surprised when we pulled into the Aquia Pines RV Park at Quantico and found it a wooded, rustic park that has a feel of being out in the woods even though we’re right next door to I-95.  We’re just over a small hill from the freeway but can’t hear it at all.   The sites are shaded and large and very nice.

Here are a couple of pictures:
