Last Day in DC :(
Joke of the Day: What was George Washington's spirit animal? A buck
6:30am came early as we headed to the Crystal City Sports Pub for the last time. Since there was something happening at The White House, we were not able to get a group photo in front of it. Next, was the Washington Monument as we received passes to go all the way to the top. It was awesome going to the top and looking down in all the different directions.
The next 6.5 hours was at The National Mall. Students had to stay in at least groups of three, but they could go anywhere they wanted within two blocks. They could choose between the Air & Space Museum, National Archives, African American Museum, Natural History Museum, and other free museums. Many got lunch at food trucks, which is always fun to see them try it for the first time. After that, we headed to the hotel to pack.
The kids said a farewell to Rob, who has been an amazing bus driver for us. The kids grew very fond of him. We hope to see him again next year.
Followed by a pasta supper, Iowa had their last snack cooperative meeting. Students reflected on their trip and gave speeches. It was very heartwarming to hear everyone’s amazing experiences. After that, the kids went to the game room before a 9:30pm room check.
Tomorrow is a 4am wake up call as we head back home to Iowa.
Goodnight DC. It’s been fun.
