It has been a phenomenal 24 hrs (or so.) We hit the ground running by getting all Sea Dragons onto the departing flight. We are currently "batting a 1000." Although we hit DC a little late we definitely hit the ground running. We started the day with a visit to the Franklin Delano Roosevelt Memorial. The memorial was breathtaking, chronicling the life and contributions of FDR through the mediums of stone and water. To say that the morning was brisk would be an understatement. It took a little while to acclimate to the 37 degree temperatures.
Our next stop was the Martin Luther King Junior memorial. The memorial is filled with inspirational quotes and prominent statues to commemorate Dr. King on the forefront of the Potomac. It was quite brisk and crisp, but the students enjoyed exploring the quotes and taking pictures in front of the memorial. They also were able to enjoy stunning views of the Washington Monument across the Potomac.From Dr. King, we walked through the fabulous fall colors in the National Mall on our way to the World War II Memorial and the Washington Monument. The students were moved by the scale of the monuments and the history the represent.
