Shout out to our bus driver Bernie… I mean Charlie, for being the best driver we could have asked for on this trip! Charlie always made sure we had the shortest walk to where we needed to go which we definitely appreciated on days where we walked up to 10 miles a day! 👟🚌

Bus 2 was in awe of the Capital Building rotunda. We even saw two famous Ohioans, President Garfield & Thomas Edison! 💡

Flicks from inside the Democracy Lab in the Capital Building Expedition Hall. Our students were practicing their debate skills, do we have some future presidents on our hands? 🤔#morerecess #longerlunches

Inside the Mount Vernon mansion — 21 rooms and over 11,000 square ft.

Exploring the grounds— Washington’s grave sight, the boat house on the Potomac, and the farm land. General Washington much preferred farming to politics! 🌽 > 👨🏼‍⚖️

Ready for our Mount Vernon tour bright and early this morning! ☀️🕶️

The students are tired after a museum-packed day but they still enjoyed seeing some of our nation’s most important documents at the National Archives Museum! 📜🇺🇸
