In the fall of 2011 I went to Washington D.C. with a group of students from school. Sixteen kids and two teachers with their wives. We got to ride the metro everywhere and see so many things. It was exhausting but we all got along well and had so many fun times together.
Day 1: Red eye flight, we stopped in New York for a few hours before getting to D.C., Air and Space Museum, National Archives, settled into the house we stayed in.
Day 2: White House tour (we even got to see President Obama leave and get into a helicopter), Bureau of Printing and Engraving, Supreme Court, United States Capitol tour and meeting with Representative Jason Chaffetz, National Portrait Gallery, dinner in China Town which was by far the best night of the trip with everyone.
Day 3: Mt. Vernon and National Treasure Tour, American History Smithsonian, bike tour of most of the monuments.
Day 4: Ford Theater, Holocaust Museum, Natural History Smithsonian, Arlington Cemetery, Iwo Jima Memorial.
Day 5: We had to get up early to pack our bags. I shared a bed with Melanie who decided to not wake me up on time because I looked peaceful. To say I was rushed that morning is an understatement. We went to Colonial Days at Mt. Vernon and flew home.
