Sorry for the week of not posting - but I have a good reason. I was a chaperone for Kelsey's 8th grade honors class trip to Washington, DC. We got on a bus early Tuesday (6 MAY 08) morning, and rode in the bus for 12 hours or so up to Washington. Every day was packed with stuff to do - we had a tour guide with us for almost the entire trip, so even the bus rides from one place to the next were full of information and interesting facts. We were fortunate enough to tour the White House, Capitol, Holocaust Museum, various monuments along the "mall" - and we did some of them at night as well - and much more. There was also a yacht trip one evening, where we were served great food and they had a DJ and dance floor for a couple of hours. The yacht was BIG - 3 stories plus an open deck on the very top. The yacht held 6 different school trip groups, all the same grade. Each floor had two schools on it, and each floor had a DJ and dance floor. We also spent a great deal of time exploring the Smithsonian Museum, which is one of my most favorite places to go.

Overall the kids LOVED the trip, and I think they actually learned a thing or two along the way. And I had fun as well - but I must admit I'm glad to be home and back to work, so I can recover ;)
