Wednesday 4-13-11

Thanks to the students who gave me pictures for today as my camera ran out of juice.


The big day- up this morning at 6 am, bags packed, breakfast for 50 and off to the White House, Jefferson memorial, WWII Memorial, Natural History Museum, American History museum, Ford's Theatre, Air and Space Museum, then off to Charlottesville and a new Hotel.

White House - no pictures allowed inside but we all enjoyed the tour. I think there was hope that given the good timing with other events we might see the President. No such luck.

WWII Memorial




"And one last thing..."




Next up lunch
Just after lunch we exited the building we found a street vendor selling some important items... ponchos, umbrellas, fake Louie Vitton purses etc. As soon as the kids found out that the prices were negotiable the game was on. I kept hearing things like"she asked me for 20 and I said 10 and she took it."Umbrellas sold for as little as 5, ponchos at 2 for 5.

Of course

Some were a little tired from all the... walking?

This class has been great!
