BAM! Dc is almost done... and it has been phenomenal Day 3 is in the books.

As you can see we had another great day here in DC!

We kicked off the morning with a visit to the White House. Although the actual size of the house is sometimes surprising to students, the atmosphere was both electric and quite literally "awesome."

After the White House we hit Ford's Theater, the site of Lincoln's assassination. This year we were fortunate enough to have a member of the theater offer a great bit of history and insight into both of the events leading up to the assassination and after. Once again, we managed to retrace the steps of our early history.

We then took a jaunt through town and wound up at The National Portrait Gallery.  Here, the students were able to see some of the official portraits of their favorite past Presidents. They were also able to see a beautiful portrait of the only four women that have held a seat in the Supreme Court, including RGB.

After lunch, we headed to the Holocaust Museum.  It was clear from the conversations with our students, the museum had the appropriate impact. 

We wrapped up the day with an incredible view from the JFK Center. 

We did our 7+ miles today, which continues our 7+ average miles per day of the trip.
