We had a very eventful and busy day 2. We started off by seeing the Korean War Memorial, then moved on to the Vietnam Wall. The girls had their picture taken with the Women's Memorial and the boys with Men's. Then we went to visit Ford's Theatre. When we came out of the theatre we had the surprise of our lives. The cross street was being blocked off for..PRESIDENT OBAMA'S MOTORCADE. The students and the chaperones watched in awe as the motorcade came down the street.
We all told Mrs. Looman that she did such a good job scheduling that part of the trip. After viewing the motorcade we got back on the bus and went to have our picnic lunch. In the shadow of the White House.
Then we walked up to the White House and took many pictures of it, as well as pictures of students, and chaperones standing in front of it.
After the White House it was on to the Pentagon. Where the students were reminded NOT TO TOUCH ANYTHING. At the end of our Pentagon tour we had another surprise. Mr. Bob Kelly, the former Principal of Colrain Central School caught up to us. He told us that he is the one that instituted the week long field trip tradition at CCS, and it was his dream that someday the students would go to Washington, DC.
After the Pentagon it was off to The Smithsonian Air and Space Museum. It was truly enthralling for all, both students and chaperones. Then we were off to the National Museum of the American Indian. The students were truly impressed with the beading and all the handwork displayed there.
Then we went and had dinner at Subway, where everyone was very quiet, because we were so busy eating. Once dinner was done we headed to the Kennedy Center. There we saw the Hall of Nations and all the children got to find the flag of the country that they did their paper on. We moved into the performing art center and saw a very thought provoking modern dance performance.
Now we are back at the hotel, safe and sound. The evening showerers have done so and we are off to our meeting with Mrs. Looman.
It was a very productive, fun and thoroughly enjoyable day.
