We made it!!!!



We left Bowling Green at 5:30 am, Nashville at 8:30 am, and Baltimore at noon. We are now in the mystical DC. We are here to study the Conservative movement and Republican Principles at the Conservative Political Action Conference. 
After arriving and grabbing lunch, we split the group of 16!!! up to attend culturally relevant places in the city. I went with a small group to the Newseum. The Newseum is a museum dedicated to the first amendment and the media. The Newseum  has state of the art technology and communication tools. In there we saw several meters of the Berlin wall, and a guard tower from the wall. We also saw part of the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. In the basement they had the shack that the Unabomber lived in. One of the neatest things I saw was the DC Snipers car with hole in the trunk.
