GOHS Day 2

Busy day today!!! Off to Mount Vernon, the Natural History Museum, the National Archives and then an American Classics concert at a Masonic Temple.

Here are some quotes from the High Schools:

"My favorite part of the day was seeing the dinosaurs and ocean life at the Smithsonian Natural History Museum and talking to President Lincoln." -Ricky

"Mount Vernon was so cool. I saw where Washington lived and died." -Jordan

"The Natural History Museum was so fun." -Clinton

"Mount Vernon was so interesting because we saw how George Washington lived. And how many people can say they have been to his house?" -Nada

"I liked the Natural History Museum because we had a lot of time to go through all the exhibits." -Chris

"I loved the Natural History Museums well as going to Mount Vernon and seeing Washington's tomb. I really enjoyed walking around his home." -Sam

"At the National Archive we saw all our founding documents. Viewing America's most valued documents has shown me how much the US is influenced by its past." -Sandra

"Mount Vernon was really cool. I enjoyed learning about Washington's home and it is beautiful!" -Amanda R.

"My favorite part was the Museum of Natural History, specifically the dinosaurs." -Mike

"Mount Vernon was awesome because people lived so different than us back then." -Lauren

"The Natural History Museum was great especially the mammal exhibit. I love animals and it was really neat to see all of the animals out on display with all the facts about them." -April

"Mount Vernon and the surrounding grounds was my favorite because I have always been interested in George Washington and seeing where he and his family lived was one of the most exciting things!" -Billy

"Seeing the National Archives was no doubt the best part of today. Without these documents the US would not be the country it is today. We are independent and free because of all that was lived in the documents." - Amanda L.

"The memory that will last with me forever is our visit to the American Archives. We the People...WOW!" It will stay with me! -Kristina
