DC Trip Update: Day 3

On Monday, we had something follow us around town for the first time since we have been here ... the SUN!!!  It was a day of sights that filled us all with awe and wonder.  Here are the highlights.

We started our day walking past Ford's Theater where President Lincoln was assassinated.

We then stopped by the National Naval Memorial, where all the students posed with the sailor statue.

Next, we went inside the National Archives, where we were able to see the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, and one of only four copies left of the Magna Carta.

We were able to fit in a short stop at the National Zoo to see the giant pandas!

Our next stop was the National Cathedral, where we were awed by the grandeur of the building that fuses classical architecture with modern American history.

After that, we stopped by Capitol Hill, where we walked the grounds of our nation's government.

Next came the Library of Congress, where we saw a Gutenberg Bible and Thomas Jefferson's book collection.

As we stopped by the Supreme Court, we started to realize that American history is being made daily.

We were able to make a short stop at the Law Enforcement Memorial where names of fallen police officers are listed honored.

Our last stop of the night was at the massive Kennedy Center, where we saw the Hall of Nations, the Hall of States, and incredible views overlooking the Potomac.

Before we left the Kennedy Center, we had a short quiz to see how well we know the city layout.  Each student represents a place we have visited.

Only one more day in DC!
