A Capitol Day

Well, it was another exciting day for the Colrain crew. We started off with a tour of the Capitol and Library of Congress. We learned a lot about both buildings and got to see one-of a kind documents like the original Emancipation Proclamation-- written in Lincoln's own  handwriting, the Gutenberg Bible, and the oldest existing map of America.

Then we headed over to the Air and Space Museum for a quick exploration. We got to walk through a space capsule, check out the Wright Brothers original plane, and view Rocks from the moon. The gift shop was fabulous too!

Next, it was off too the Smithsonian National Zoo were we checked out pandas, tigers, monkeys, snakes and all sorts of amazing creatures. We truly enjoyed exploring the many exhibits, both indoors and out.

But the day wasn't over yet. After the zoo, we enjoyed a fabulous pool party. Here we are after our swim.

We plan to get an early start for home tomorrow.
