Washington DC

May 1^st

First we went to Memorial Park which had a lot of statues and monuments. We saw Lincoln Memorial, which was  one of the famous statues that I knew before, we also saw the Korean War Memorial and the Vietnam War Memorial; I really enjoyed seeing all of them and the statue of Martin Luther King, Jr. too. Also we went to  Roosevelt Memorial and  The Thomas Jefferson Memorial. It was so cool!! Our tour guide was so awesome!! I appreciated her being our guide. After that we went to big mall (near the Pentagon) to have lunch and to do some shopping. And then we went to George Washington Mount Vernon! It wasa  huge house and it had so many interesting details and things about George Washington, his family and his life. It was great and beautiful.

I think that today was more valuable than normal American history class.  It was a  wonderful day! I felt that everyday on this trip went so fast. I hope that tomorrow is going to be a fantastic day again!
