Blog for day 1: Well first of all I have to say that was a pretty amazing day! Very fun filled and adventurous! So glad that I was able to see all that I did! I never thought that I would be so interested in seeing all of the history stuff as much as I was when I got there! It was absolutely amazing to see so much! My favorite part would have probably been either the American History Smithsonian or the MLK Jr. Memorial! The American History [Museum] had many interesting facts about the different wars and what went on in them and how we reacted. Also, the most devastating part was seeing a piece from one of the Twin Towers. The MLK Jr. Memorial was fascinating! It was awesome how they took a piece of the "mountain" out symbolizing him through his despair . Although those were only two of my favorites the memorials of all the veterans made you feel so thankful to be alive and so grateful for them dying for you. The best part was seeing a letter written from a little boy in middle school to the veterans that were never welcomed home. It was so thoughtful and heart warming! It makes me so proud to be an American! The only down fall was all the walking but it was more than worth it! So glad that I was able to go on this trip! -Allie Ball
