Day in D.C.

General Robert E. Lee

We spent the day in D.C. with the freshmen, sophomores, and juniors. Our first stop was the Madame Tussauds wax museum. It was a very interesting place because, unlike many wax museums, you could touch the wax figures.

After the wax museum, I took five sophomore girls through the National Gallery of Art. I had a splendid group for that. They were interested in the art and trying to find paintings and/or painters with whom they were familiar.

We interrupted our visit to the art gallery to make use of our tickets at the Air & Space Museum, but the girls voted to go back to the art gallery when we had more time. So, we walked across the mall again.

We ended our day in D.C. with a talk by a Holocaust survivor at the US Holocaust Memorial Museum. We arrived back at school about 7:30 this evening.
