Back home
Hello all! Twenty-two tired children, and eleven perhaps even tireder adults pulled into the charter school parking lot this morning around 1:30am. We are all home safe.
We had difficulty with the internet connection in our hotel the past few days, so you haven't received updates. Today is a day off for children, but tomorrow you should see some fresh material as they reflect on their week in Washington DC.
I think we all will appreciate the experience more with the perspective of being away from it. I know that I am missing the morning routine of getting sleepy little girls up and going, a Holiday Inn continental breakfast and heading off for the Metro in shuttled vans. The Metro stop in DC that we used brought us right to the middle of the National Mall. It was such a treat to ride the escalator up and emerge into the green grass and springtime in this most famous park with the Capitol Building in one direction the Washington Monument opposite and the White House through the trees. Washington is really a beautiful city.
Thanks once again for all the support from you, our families, friends and blog fans!

I really enjoyed following your wonderful trip, and I'm glad you're all home again. Sorry about the bad Internet connections, but I figured you must be on your way home with no time to post.
Must be great to get off the Metro and ascend to the grass of the National Mall. What a good thing you adults just did for your students!

I want to thank all you teachers and parent chaperones for taking such good care of our kids over the past week, as well as the LINK kids on their trip. It was easier to have them gone knowing they were in such good hands.
I can't wait to see the rest of the reports!
