Day 2 Part 2

Shortly after our clinic, we arrived at the U.S. Capitol and toured the building. We then went to Ford's Theatre and listened to a park ranger tell the historic story of the Lincoln assassination. Then we went to the Ronald Reagan building to eat dinner. Later on we went on a haunted tour of the city and were able to see the White House. Next we went on our monument tour at night. It was dark and cold, but all of the monuments were lit up and it was amazing. We saw the Lincoln Memorial, Vietnam War Memorial, and the Korean War Memorial. A jammed-packed second day in our nation's capital! More pictures and updates soon to come.

Day 2 Part 1

After getting a wake up call at 6:10 this morning, we ate a very nice breakfast and then prepared to go to our clinic at George Mason University. Our clinician was professor Mark Camphouse and he was very nice and had a lot of good advice for us. We just finished our boxed lunches on the bus, and we are on our way to get a tour of the Capital.

Wednesday's Highlight: WWII Memorial

On our first tour on the trip, our tour guide (Mr. Russ Preble) brought us through the World War II Memorial. This memorial honors the 16 million that served, 400,000 that died, and millions that supported the war effort from home. At the end, he showed a replica of the victory medal.

Day 1 in D.C.

Once we arrived in Washington, D.C., we went to the Smithsonian Castle for about 45 minutes. Then we went on our first tour of the monuments. We just arrived at Hard Rock Cafe for dinner. After dinner, we will be arriving at our hotel and will have a little bit of free time. :)

Bus Update

After about 3 and a half hours, our bus is at least running once again. We are only 5 and a half hours away. Thankfully the bus is finally starting to warm up a little bit. We are two hours away from picking up our next driver after we start driving. After we pick up our next driver, we will be stopping for a quick breakfast and will continue our adventure. Unfortunately, we will not be able to make it to the Spy Museum,  but we still hope to be able to go to Arlington, Iwo Jima, the Smithsonian, and dinner at Hard Rock Cafe. On ward to DC :)
