Day 1: May 25, 2025
Day number one was a great introduction to Washington, DC! After being picked up from the airports, both DCA and BWI, all three of our groups went to the portrait gallery! We saw all the official Presidential Portraits, as well as some other cool pieces of art. We stopped at Potbelly for some sandwiches, and then made our way to some of the Smithsonians, both Natural History and American History. After perusing those museums for a couple of hours, we took a stroll into DC and went to Pershing Park, home of the World War 1 Memorial. It was then time for dinner, where we went to Nando's Peri-Peri. After dinner, we did "The Big Three", which are Lincoln, Korea, and Vietnam Memorials. After those night memorials, we boarded the bus and went to our hotel, the Wyndham Garden Manassas. That was our day one! overall, a great day in DC!
