Day 1: The Adventure Begins

After an early drive to the Nashville Airport, flight to Baltimore, and
bus ride we finally arrived in Washington D.C. this afternoon. My
navigation skills were tested today while we traveled around the city by
foot and on the tram. Allie Hembree will never doubt my skills in the
future. A group of us had lunch in China Town and then proceeded to the National Museum of American History. They had an exhibit on all the
First Ladies. It included dresses, china sets, video documentary, and
other artifacts. After that we visited the U.S. Holocaust Memorial
Museum. It was a moving experience and I would recommend it to anyone
visiting D.C. The museum has quotes and scriptures engraved in stone on several of the walls. I found this scripture to be though provoking "Only be careful, and watch yourselves closely so that you do not forget the things your eyes have seen or let them slip from your heart as long as you live. Teach them to your children and to their children after them." (Deuteronomy 4:9)
