Washington DC

Washington DC is the capital city whose skyline is the symbol of freedom to all people all over the world. You’ll learn that its location was a compromise worked out by Thomas Jefferson and Alexander Hamilton and its design was planned by Frenchman, Pierre L’Enfant. You’ll visit Arlington Cemetery where an honor guard keeps watch over the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier ... the White House .. the Capitol where laws of the nation are forged, and the building where the Supreme Court guards the laws of the Constitution. You’ll see the Washington Monument and the Lincoln and Jefferson Memorials and learn where to view the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution and Bill of Rights. You can explore the various museums which preserve the culture of the nation: Tour Embassy Row, see the Vice President's home, and visit the magnificent National Cathedral on your way to Georgetown, Old Town Alexandria (a thriving colonial port in its hey day), and Mt. Vernon, the famous plantation where George Washington lived and died. You'll hear about this and much, much more.
