We ate lunch on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial.
Stevie was lucky enough to get to go to DC on a fieldtrip, the first that our school has taken since 9/11. We went to a series of vignette plays and then went and toured around the mall. We had been studying important people and symbols. The children got to see the Lincoln and Jefferson Memorial up close. They were so impressed. It really brought it alive for them. It was the first time in DC for many of them. As we were driving in one of them said to me, "Mrs. Bainter, I think that we are in a city. Look at the tall buildings and such." They were so excited to see a different world.
We saw Imogene's Antlers, If you give a mouse a cookie, and 4 others. The kids were spellbound during the performances.
As you can see, they were tuckered out going back home.

It never ceases to amaze me how people can live this close to the nation's capitol and not go see it. I'm glad the school is letting you go back there for field trips now. What a shame when it stopped.
That would be an awesome field trip. One thing I love about Portland is the variety of trips the schools take.
