I.C.S. in D.C. III: Full Circle

Filed under: — Eternal @ 7:37 am
In the morning my class went to the National Archives, and then the Smithsonian Air and Space Museums. I was pretty worn out for the museum, so were a few of my friends. So we went and pan-handled outside in front of the building. Aaron Primm, my buddy, played the guitar! It ruled! We then went to have lunch at the Old Post Office, which is now a mall, and has a great view from the top of the building. Afterwards we took off to the mint, also known as the Bureau of Printing and Engraving. They had millions of dollars there. The last and probably most emotionally powerful place I’ve been is the Holocaust Museum. Lots of stuff there. Incredible experience.

I.C.S. in D.C. II: The Revenge

Filed under: — Eternal @ 7:34 am
This morning we started the day off with a Tour of the White House. Then we had a lunch with some International Foundation of Hippies of some sort who are a spiritual group of people from various religions. Then take in anyone in need and give them rehab from drugs, or give them food and shelter and clothes. They help anyoe in need. One of our teacher’s parents were the one’s who started this thing, so we all got to go there and play basketball, go for nature hikes, and eat burgers fresh off the barbie. Next, we took a guided tour of the Capitol. That was pretty awesome! Then we had a meeting with Senator Bob Bennet. He told us a bunch of stuff that sounded like sound of Charlie Brown’s parents. Well, it sounded that way to me. Then we asked hima bunch of questions. We then proceeded to the Supreme Court. That was neat.

I.C.S. in D.C.

Filed under: — Eternal @ 7:29 am
Today my 10th grade class at ICS flew down to Denver and hopped on another flight to Washington D.C.. We then took a Yellow & Black Motorcoach bus tour of downtown Washington D.C.. We visited the Licoln & Jefferson Memorial, the Vietnam and Korean Memorial. Afterwards we retired to our hotel before our teacher decided to take us to a nearby pub. What a cool guy! (Now that he no longer works there -01-24-2006- I feel safe saying, yep! you guessed it, Mr. T!)
