Day 5

At Mt. Vernon

With our bus driver, Avery.

We're sitting in the Dulles Airport waiting to board the plane. 

Today we saw:

-Mt. Vernon (George Washington's home)

-American History Museum

-Natural History Museum

-National Museum of Art

-Pentagon 9-11 Memorial

"Today, I learned that there are awesome people in our armed forces.

Today was really cool. The first place we went to was Mt. Vernon. We saw George Washington's house, farm, and his old tomb. Plus, we saw a cool movie.  After this, we went to lunch. Next we visited the American History Museum which was cool because on my last trip it was closed. Finally, we visited the Natural History Museum. The Hope diamond was pretty cool. We had a quick dinner before heading to the airport to catch our flight. See you tomorrow!" --Wesley
