Then on Wednesday we went to a Holocust museum, D.C. cupcakes (yummy,) and shopping! And now for today we went to battle field and another museum, then to the Washington monument (holy cow it is tall, hehe). Washington has been amazing and I miss my Kansas friend's (love you guys).

Obama Moment
Holy cow on our bus ride back to the hotel, all of a sudden there were police and ambulances everywhere.. We thought "what the heck". Shortly following was the black car motorcade, our tour guide said it was either Obama or his wife Michelle or both. What a memory I think we both will remember for a long time to come. I guess just another day in the life of DC..
Day 2 Adventure
Today was another great day we arrived at Arlington cemetery first thing and saw the changing of the guards. It was so moving and I took a ton of pictures. We also visited the Pentagon 9/11 Memorial. What an amazing moment, it was so hot in the sun but then on our 1/4 mile walk back to the bus out of no where we were cOught in a down pour. (Crazy but fun) No Umbrellas! Then off too Mount Vernon (Washington's home) what a beautiful location. Then a great dinner at Chevys. And then off to a ghost tour. Now off to our hotel for a shower and a good night rest.

Wow what a long, exciting day! Well let me start from the beginning first we met up with half of our group, (because the other half of us got stuck in Chicago) then we started our tour. Then we went to two museums and saw the wizard of oz shoes, Julia child's kitchen, and Abe Lincons top hat and much more. Then the other half of our group arrived and we went to the Vietnam memorial and off to shopping! After that we went to dinner and a show.
