We had an incredible first week exploring urban parks that are a part of the National Park Service. We had stops at the White House in Washington, D.C., Baltimore, and Philadelphia. At each stop students are collecting ideas to possibly start a movement in creating a National Park at our Inner Harbor. |

We had to changed up our plans a little bit for out trip to D.C. The weather wasn't quite cooperating with us so instead of doing the tour of all the different memorials we spent the majority of the day at the Smithsonian Museum of Natural History and Air and Space. In the Museum of Natural History the campers learned about our vast oceans, dinosaurs, mammals and saw the Hope Diamond up close. At the Air and Space Museum they learned about the history of aviation in the United States as well as all the different planets in our solar system. We did manage to spend a decent amount of time outside and saw the Washington Monument and the US Capitol Building on the National Mall. If you would like to see more pics of our trip go to the link. We walked a total of 1 mile on Monday giving us a total of 13.8 miles for the camp so far! Our tour with D.C. will start at the Lincoln Memorial. From there we will visit most of the memorials along National Mall. We will eat lunch inside the Air and Space Museum and visit their exhibits including the new "Area 51" exhibit. In the afternoon we will be going to Arlington National Cemetery. We will visit JFK's "eternal flame", The Changing of the Guard at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier amongst other stops.
