Incredibles Field Trip to Washington D.C.

BY KEYANA S.

On October 30, 2009 the Incredibles team took a trip to our nation's capital, Washington D.C.

We went to the U.S. Capitol Building, the Jefferson Memorial, and the American History Museum.

At the capitol building our team went to the new visitors' center which was pretty cool. We went into a theater which was pretty cool because it was just like an Imax theater.

We also had tours of the capitol which I think was pretty cool. We saw the old conference room. We saw the top of the dome which was so cool cause if you look really close you can see pictures in the sides where actual history was being made. For example, we saw the Wright Brothers with their invention of the airplane, which was so cool. And at the very top you could see Lady Liberty and Lady Freedom sitting together with George Washington in the middle of them. And then we saw a sculpture with the three women who made it possible for women to vote: Eleanor Roosevelt, Elizabeth Cady Staunton, and (you all know her) Susan B. Anthony.

At the Jefferson Memorial we saw a HUGE statue of Thomas Jefferson, and at the American History Museum we saw a counter they took from a resturant in Greensboro, North Carolina because of the four men who made history there at that counter: Ezell A. Blair Jr., Franklin E. McCain, Joseph A. McNeil, and David L. Richmond. They were students at North Carolina Agricultural and Technical College and it was so cool.

So it was a pretty cool field trip and I loved it.
