Days 3 and 4 of our Washington, DC trip were packed with unforgettable experiences for our students! 🇺🇸 We explored the historic Gettysburg National Military Park with an engaging battlefield tour, enjoyed a peaceful Tidal Basin walk, and visited the powerful Martin Luther King Jr. and Thomas Jefferson memorials. We also discovered the charm of Old Town Alexandria, toured the fascinating Army Museum, and took in stunning views of the Potomac River from George Washington’s backyard at his Mount Vernon estate.
Day 2 of our Washington, DC adventure was truly unforgettable! 🇺🇸 Our students honored history with a visit to Arlington National Cemetery and witnessed the solemn Changing of the Guard. We explored the powerful Marine Corps Memorial (Iwo Jima) and toured the deeply moving Holocaust Museum. The day continued with a visit to the White House, followed by reflection at the Vietnam and Korean War Memorials. We wrapped up the evening surrounded by the inspiring beauty of the Lincoln Memorial and Reflecting Pool.
Such meaningful experiences that will stay with us forever! Stay tuned for more from this incredible journey. ✨
