DAY 4 MAY 3, 2011
TODAY WE WALKED 21309 STEPS ON MRS. BROUGHTON'S PEDOMETER OR ABOUT 25 MILES TOTAL SO FAR! OUR FEET ARE TIRED!
The Prince
Prince Charles was at the U.S. Supreme Court on Tuesday May 3, 2011. I was at the front when I saw a bunch of people and at first I thought it was Barack Obama, but then I saw a 6 foot tall guy. A person said it is Prince Charles. Prince Charles is Prince William’s father, so I put my hand out. He shook my hand and said, ”Hello, I am Prince Charles and who are you?” I said my name is Jake K-------- from Bozeman, MT. Then the prince said, “Oh well, have a nice day Junior.” Then I knew it was him.
The security here is amazing. Everywhere you looked you saw security guards protecting every area around the Crown Prince. One guard was 7 ft tall and about 300-310 pounds and very intimidating.
We will be back soon. We are having fun. Jake K.
Hi everyone! Today was such a fun day! We really are busy from seven in the morning until ten at night! But every minute of the day is a blast and worth every minute of it. You meet so many new people and have people’s numbers by the end of the first day! You all are probably wondering what we did today, so here was our schedule. We got to sleep in today, so we ate breakfast at 7:45. Around 8ish we all got on our assigned busses and headed to the Jefferson and FDR Memorials. Then we went to see all the National Archives. That was very interesting! We ate lunch after that and had about a half hour to walk with friends. And we spent the rest of the day on Capitol Hill! We had a huge surprise at the Supreme Court, but I will let Jake K. tell you about that. We also got to eat at the Union Station! I got to see all the trains take off and pick people up. And finally we saw the White House! It was so cool to see all the snipers on the roof! One cool thing that everyone here in D.C. is talking about is Osama Bin Ladin’s death. They all already have t-shirts about all of it and it’s a huge topic! Anyway we really do have a blast here because everything is so much cooler to see in real life!! See ya☺

Hey guys! We are all having a great time in Washington D.C. I love it here because it’s all green! Ha ha. Today we visited the Library of Congress and it was amazing. There were so many old books everywhere I looked. There were a couple of original bibles and many pictures of very important people. The security check points were very interesting to get through; people weren’t allowed to take pictures and we all had to take our belts off, cameras, cell phones etc. The artwork and the paintings of the building were beautiful! Oh my gosh! This location was where part of the movie, National Treasures, was filmed. This is the location of Thomas Jefferson’s personal library of books that he sold to the government after the original library burned. Well, that’s all for tonight, I’m exhausted.
