We took a tour in the good ole US capital, the District of Colombia!
While we were there, we learned that their flower was the beauty rose.
Did you know that DC was named after the famous explorer, Christopher
Columbus? Neither did I! We learned a lot, including the fact that when
it became capital of our country in 1800, it had no voting
representative, and about how we have the three branches of government.
Of course, DC is known for its many historical sites, but most students
visit other parts of the city since they are so familiar with the
places. DC has many professional sports teams like the Nationals
(baseball), Capitals (hockey), and Freedom (soccer). They also have
delicious restaurants like Ben’s Chili and the Hole. Although it’s
known for its part in our government, the District of Columbia has so
much to offer.
We stayed a bit to witness the theater plays, Anime Festival, the
Cherry Blossom Festival, rallies, musical concerts, and so much more! DC
is a very festive district, don’t you think? While we were running
around, we saw a lot of kids playing chase, soccer, baseball, softball,
tennis, field hockey, football, lacrosse, track & field, talking,
and climbing. A couple of them were even swimming! We would have loved
to stay and talk, but we had to hurry on to our next state.
