Today was exhausting! We woke up at 4:30 this morning so Group One could leave the hotel at 6:00am. I was in Group Two, which left the hotel at 8:00am. We took the bus ot the airport, checked in, and went through security and customs, which took a long time. I was charged $40, due to my excessive shopping in Toronto.
Our flight left at 11:30, and we arrived at 1pm. We retrieved our luggage, met Group One, and walked out to our bus to find it was pouring rain. We were taken on a guided tour of Washington DC, where we stopped to take pictures of the Capitol, the White House, the Lincoln Memorial, the Washington Monument, the Korean Memorial and the Vietnam Memorial. The rain stopped for us so we did not get completely soaked. Besides the rain, Washington is beautiful.
After our tour, our bus took us to the Metropolitan Memorial United Church, where we met our host families. Most of us went home, settled in and rested up/we needed it for our last performance!

That's a great pic in front of the Whitehouse but, Aria, I hope there are other photos because you are blocked off.
Anyone notice buddy trying to climb the White House fence behind you?
I did!
I guess he is Al Qaeda!
Colleen you overspent in Toronto ??? Imagine you still have 9 days left in New Jersey with your relatives - you won't be able to do any shopping !!! If you do you'll have to sent it home with Erin ... HA, HA
Enjoy your visit to the Jersey Shore and don't get too much sun !!!
Love you - Hi to everyone,
Aunt Alice
