We're in Washington! Sunday, January 18

Martin's notes: We left MBHS this morning at 6:00 and have spent the day travelling and touring DC. The kids have been excited and their excitement is contagious! The kids are posting into this blog through my laptop.

My name is Elizabeth Monte and I'm a sophomore at Myrtle Beach High School. The most inspirational part of my trip today was the Vietnam War Memorial. We were able to visit the Memorial at night and it was very touching to see the sacrifices that people have made for our country. Something that I am most excited for during this experience is getting to see the swearing in of our new president.


My name is Joy Himmelsbach and I'm a sophomore at MBHS. One of the coolest parts of the trip so far has been seeing all of the people from around the country who have come together for this event.

My name is Shelley Krzyzaniak and I'm a junior at MBHS. I was amazed at all the people that are here in Washington, there are so many faces and languages. I also thought it was cool that it's Lincoln's 200th Birthday on the same day as the Obama inauguration. It's so cool how that works out that we are here to see the real result of the Emancipation Proclamation.
