Our day began at 6:15 with breakfast. By 6:40, we were gazing at the monuments of D.C. Some monuments we saw were the Lincoln memorial, the Vietnam memorial, and the WWII memorial.
After looking at some of the many memorials, we headed toward the White House for our tour. Around 9:30, we went in groups for lunch and to see different Smithsonian museums like the Museum of Natural History, the American History Museum, the Holocaust Museum, etc.
Around 3:30, we went to tour the Library of Congress. Following that we took pictures and looked around the outside of the Supreme Court.
Finally we were able to go back onto the bus, but before we could get ready for Peking Gourmet, we went to see the U.S. Marine Corps War Memorial. The Peking Gourmet dinner didn’t begin until 7:30, but it was worth the wait. We got to try a lot of new foods together.
As you can see, our day was packed full of great learning experiences. And we still have many more to come! Tomorrow, we hit the Big Apple, New York.
