Tuesday Report

Well thank goodness the big rain stayed away. We had a few misty moments and it was cooler than yesterday but it was decent.

We all met Congressman Dale Kildee in his office. He was very knowledgeable of MI and seemed genuinely interested in having us there. I'm glad we had the opportunity to meet him.

Afterwards we all went our separate ways. Here are some places people went today.

Air & Space Museum
Holocaust Museum
Natural History Museum
Native American Museum
Travel to the top of the Washington Monument
Iwo Jima Memorial
Korean War Memorial
Vietnam Wall
Old Ebbitt Grill

And I would like to give special recognition to myself for being a great sport after being pushed in the pool with my clothes on. These kids are bold!

Be back tomorrow!

A fabulous Monday

Hello everyone! What a great day! We left this morning at 9:00 and took the Metro to the Basilica of the Shrine of the Immaculate Conception. What a beautiful church. I think everyone was amazed at the crypt level, upper church, and many chapels. It was absolutely sublime. We went to mass and the priest even welcomed our group publicly. Some people from Gaylord then let us know they were there from MI too.

We took the metro over to Union Station and walked to the Capitol building for a tour. We then took a snack/treat break before walking to the Air and Space Museum. A few of us braved the flight simulators while others saw the Wright Brothers plane and other fun in aviation.

Then we walked over to the Mall and found that the film "Night at the Museum 2" was being taped. We saw Mr. Ben Stiller himself! He waved at our rowdy "star struck" group and even asked where we were from. Mackenzie then got bold yelling "I have a brother named after you" he asked her "for real and how old" she replied 9 months and then it was back to taping. Ms. Gabbie has already approved our field trip next year to see the movie. Yeah! :) That was really exciting!

We walked over to Union Station where we had dinner. We then took our Twilight Tour. It was nice. We saw the Jefferson, Lincoln, FDR, WWII, Korean War, & Vietnam War Memorials.

I think everyone is tired but happy. The weather was beautiful! Sunny & pleasant! Tomorrow is looking like lots of rain all day. :( Oh well, I am thankful for today.

The kids are behaving wonderfully and the parents are doing well too.

I guess that there is a St. Elizabeth mental hospital out here and a few people have found it comical to say something to us about letting us out to tour the city today. hahaha...right? We all looked great in our shirts.

So that is the general DC report for Monday. I'll let the students add in the comment section some of the finer details and their fondest memories of the day.

Hopefully tomorrow will be just as great, rain or shine! Nighty night!

Here in DC!

Hello everyone! We are having a great time and except for having to jump start the car this morning the traveling went very well.

The internet connection is not great here so unless somehow it miraculously gets better I won't be uploading pictures.

Tomorrow we will be touring the Basilica of the Shrine of the National Conception. We will also be touring the Capitol Building and then Union Station. We will end our day with a night tour of DC. Lets hope for good weather!

I did not get progress reports finished from the weekend. I will get them out to you on Friday this week. Sorry for the delay.

We are very busy working on our special presentation for the 8th grade graduation so regular work has decreased. However, the students still had time to work in class on the religion and reading. They need to really focus on their Accel Math & Reading goals as the year winds down.

I sent home a packet of info on the DC trip. This should be the last thing sent home from me before the trip. Also, to those of you who had fundraiser money for meals a check was sent home for you today.

Anyone who thinks they may be driving at all during the trip needs to get me a copy of their drivers license and their auto insurance policy.

Thanks again for all your support!

Hello everyone, sorry for the lack of updates to the site. Austin is doing well and I thank everyone for their prayers while he was sick.
