~:[Day 46]:~ Greetings from the Jefferson

~:[Day 46]:~ Greetings from the Jefferson
In our last day in DC, we hustled through the DC area in order to get to as many spots as possible. In just under four hours, we walked to the Jefferson, the Roosevelt, the MLK, the Korean, the Lincoln, the Vietnam, and the WWII memorial, by the Washington Monument, performed our "I''m Just a Bill Assignment" on live feed to our first period class and then hit up the White House before heading to the hotel area to eat. I ate at Panas and it was so delicious as usual as I scarfed down six of them! At about 1:45, we hit the road to Monticello. Our drive got lost in the backwoods of Virginia and we missed the last tour through the estate. However, we still got to wander around a bit, of course, not as much as the drive would warrant. Our driver took us through the backroads most of the way to Durham, as we got to see a lot of large farms and very scenic areas, however, as it got darker, it became more of a Blair Witch scene. In any case, we arrived safely and now it's time to tour Durham for a day before the conference.
