The Day started off with Youth Day in which we learned about electric co-ops and listened to some awesome motivational speakers amongst over 1,500 other high schoolers from across the country.
After that, it was on to the White House for a group photo.
We stopped for lunch at the Reagan Center then headed out for Mount Vernon, with scenci views of the Potomac River almost the whole way. While visiting George Washington's estate we toured his famous mansion, learned about the history of the grounds, walked through his English-style gardens and checked out his stables and servers quarters. We also got to view the tomb where George and several of his close family members are buried. After that it was on to the D.C. Mall. Our chaperons were nice enough to give us a couple of hours to eat, shop and get some souvenirs for our friends and family back home. Around sunset we went back to the capitol mall and toured the Lincoln Memorial, Vietnam, Korean and WWII Memorials. It rained on us for a few and some of us got a little wet, but if it wasn't for those Electric Co-op ponchos it would have been a lot worse! When we got back to the hotel, we had a little bit of free time to play some spoons, order some pizza and dry off amongst our new-found friends.
