When we arrived in DC it was great to see how excited everyone was to see monuments in the distance. We stopped first for a look at the white house, and took a group photo there. We even saw guards on the roof, and spoke with a secret service agent!
Next we went to the capital building for more pictures. The students enjoyed talking to another Secret Service Agent and asking about his job.
Our next stop was the National Catherdral, which we were able to tour the inside of. It was amazingly beautiful!! We even heard the pipe organ play.
Our next stop was Union Station, where we ate dinner at the Thunder Road Grill. By that point everyone was definitely hungry and tired. After dinner, we stopped at a souvineer shop, drove through DC some, and then headed to the hotel.
Hopefully now everyone is in bed asleep because we've got an early moring again tomorrow! I certainlly need my beauty sleep, so nighty night. I will post again tomorrow when I can.
Wow! What a first day! I had a great day and think the student would say the same.
