Excitement is in the Air! Amanda Key


Everyone woke with excitement and energy for our first day in D.C. After picking up the other Traveling Hornets from the airport we were off for Ella’s Pizza, which was a pizzeria nominated by Frommers. Quick meal--for we had many sights to take in.



WWII Memorial
Reflection Pool
Lincoln Memorial
Korean Memorial
Washington Monument
Vietnam Memorial

We thought we had prepared for the cold. Thermals, thick socks, furry boots, ear muffs, thick jackets and hand warmers--were not enough!

Today while viewing the Lincoln Memorial we were able to see/hear practice for tomorrow nights concert. It is hard to believe the area that was pretty void of visitors today will be filled with millions on Tuesday.

Time for dinner. We traveled to Hanover, Maryland to Medieval Times. The students loved it! Definitely two thumbs up!

A quick stop by Wal-Mart to pick up the necessary snack food and dvd player, basketball hoop, and board games?

Hey Traveling Hornets! I am enjoying your pictures and thoughts. It sounds like you are having a great time! I visited Washginton D.C. and Williamsburg when I was 5 and I still remember so much about what I learned on the trip. Like me, you are making memories that will last for the rest of your life. Thank you for representing our school and community.
