DC Trip 2015

Welcome to MRHS STAND's 2015 DC trip! We had a flawless first day - at least once we got to Logan. Traffic was unexpectedly awful at 6am - took everyone  30-45 extra minutes. But we got checked in and through security a half hour ahead of departure. JetBlue is awesome! Arrived ontime at Logan and caught the 1040 MARC train to DC. 
We had lunch at Union Station before walking to our hotel - Fairfield Inn.

 
After dropping our bags, we walked down to the Mall and did a quick visit to the East Wing of the National Gallery of art.
From there we walked to the Capitol. Alison Donovan had arranged a Capitol Tour through Rep. Kennedy's office.
We split into two groups for the tour, highlights such as the Rotunda and Sam Houston's statue.
After we visited the Natural History Museum, 
and posed for a picture at the National Archives on the way back to the hotel. 
We had a later dinner at Busboys and Poets - best group restaurant experience ever!  Team huddle to plan for tomorrow, then early bedtime since we've been up since 4!
