Washington DC Trip July 11 - 15, 2012



I just returned from a five-day trip to Washington DC.  I was selected to attend  C-SPAN’S Summer Educators Conference.  For two days I got a look behind the scenes at the cable network that covers America’s politics and public affairs.  As a government teacher I was in heaven! 
I stayed on a few days after the conference to see the sites in our nation’s capital.  In two days I walked the city taking in the monuments and museums.  I went to the White House, the Capital building, the Supreme Court and the Library of Congress.  Additionally, I visited the Lincoln, King, and Vietnam memorials.  I also visited the American History Museum and the National Art Museum.  One night I took the Metro and checked out the nightlife in the DuPont Circle area.  I had a blast!
I love DC and I look forward to the next time I can return to this great city!
