In a few short hours (3 to be exact) Milee and I will be heading to SeaTac to catch an early morning flight to Washington DC. We’re going with another 50+ 7th grade students and parents as part of a school coordinated trip that’s been planned since the beginning of the 2009-2010 school year. Milee spent the entire school year saving money earned from babysitting and other work so that she could help pay for it. I decided to tag along because it sounded like it could be a great experience and I’ve never been further east than New Orleans before.
While we’re both excited, it’s going to be quite a whirlwind trip. Our schedule each day is roughly 7am – 9pm every day, and there is very little downtime. We’re being escorted all over the DC area visiting practically everything possible in only 4 days. Oh, and it’s expected to be very hot and humid – unlike Seattle.
After the DC trip comes to an end, and everyone else is hopping on a plane for home, Milee and I are going to break from the group and head further north to New York City. We’ll stay there for a couple days and do whatever we want before flying back home.
I’m going to do my best to keep a record of our experiences, and I’ll also be taking tons of pictures. When possible I’ll post additional updates.
It should be quite a trip!
