Today we woke up early, ate a big breakfast, packed up the bus and then headed to the Capitol for our group photos and tour. Congressman Duncan's office was leading us through the building. We were divided into three groups and began our tour with a very patriotic movie about the founding of Washington, D.C. and the building of the Capitol itself. The guides did a great job of teaching us.
After the Capitol tour we made our way by tunnel to the Library of Congress to see its gorgeous architecture. I'm sure there will be many published pieces from this talented group cataloged here someday. Then we had lunch at the Capitol Cafe and headed home.
This was a simply a wonderful trip. I don't think it could have gone any smoother. We want to say thank you to the parent chaperones who gave of their time to come work with us. It was a pleasure to get to know you better and serve along side you.
Again thank you to Robert our wonderful driver, and to the administration at CAK for allowing our students to engage in enrichment opportunities off of campus.
Warriors in D.C. 2016 was a fabulous trip!
