Summer trip to Washington D.C.



link


I am so, so excited!!!!!! As of today, I have been accepted to go to Washington D.C. I am going through 4-H on the Citizenship Washington Focus trip.  Only 50 kids from the state of MN can go and I'm one of them!!  Whoo-hoo!!We get to meet our state representative and tour the White House.  The only downside is that we only get 4 days in D.C. because it takes 4 days total to get out there and back.  But hey, at least I'm going!!!  I'm studying Government this year, I've always loved History and I probably won't be able to get there again for a really long time if ever! My day was made today!! :)

Have any of you ever been to Washington D.C.?
What was your favorite part about it (buildings, shopping, etc.)

  2. How exciting! Congratulations girl! I've only been to the airports in Washington and a cab but didn't get to see much of the city. I'm guessing you will have a fabulous time!!!

  3. That's awesome!! I went back when I was in 8th grade (we took a class trip) and I loved it! I hope to go back someday. It is filled with so much history. My favorite part (that I can remember) was seeing where Abe Lincoln got shot and countless historical sites such as that. It's been forever...I wish I could tell you more! You will love it though!
