Our group is looking forward to going to the war battle sites of Lexington and Concord. We want to see it because it is a historical battle that changed the United States history. This place is also engaging because a war has lots of action.

Our plane trip there was long but we were still able to use the time wisely. Some people got some rest... Some people played with clay (like us)... and some people played with there technology. When we finally got to Boston... we went to Quincy MarketPlacement...

Today our room woke up at 6:00 am and got ready then went down in the Buffet for breakfast. After we all ate we left to go to Plemith Plantation.  We saw many things like actors(I was so amazed of how well they could stay in character.) and old reenactments.

Later that day we went to Harvard and we got a mini tour of the school and visited the gift shop.

We went to Hard Rock Cafe where we ate very good food and drinks.

We had a tour in our bus to show us the important parts of the battle! we also got to go up and see most of Gettysburg from a tour that was there during the war!

May 25, 2011 We went on our rafting trip today! It was probably the best part of the trip! Everyone was sunburned and tired after on our way to Washington DC. Almost everyone slept! Then we went to Mt. Vernon to see Gorge Washington house! It was incredible and so different from houses today! Then we saw the Lincoln, Korean war, and Jefferson memorials. Finally we went back to our hotels to try and sleep! (:

May 26, 2011 Today we rode the Subway for the last time. We went to Capitol Hill and had a tour around the Capitol the building! It was incredible to be able to see the same Capitol building that many people used before us. Then we went to National Mall to explore the Smithsonian Museums. After we rode the subway to Arlington National Cemetery where we saw the changing of the guards at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldiers, and some of our friends actually got to lay a wreath that said Innovation Middle School on the tomb. Today was really hot and was one of our longest walking days!
