D.C. Trip Chapter V

I woke up at 5:45, went to breakfast, and packed up. Then we went to George Washington's former residence, Mt. Vernon. I slept on the bus on the way there. We took a tour of the mansion and saw their actual room! We also went down to his tomb/grave thing, and since we were there at 10 AM, our group was chosen for a special honor, so two of my classmates got to place the wreath in there! Then we went to the learning center and saw the museum-ish thing there, then we saw the store.

After that, we drove back to D.C. and saw the Supreme Court, the Library of Congress, and the Capitol Building on Capitol Hill. For our final stop, we visited the Air and Space Museum.

Too soon it was time to go to Reagan National Airport and flew to Dallas, where we had dinner. Then we flew to Denver. We took the train to go get our bags, then caught our bus back to school. I listened to music and slept.
