Our final day began with a trip to the home of George Washington - Mount Vernon. We explored the visitor's center, visited the tomb of the grand pooba of the founding fathers, and toured his house and estate. After a delicious lunch at the OCB, we spent a few hours at the Smithsonian, visiting the Art Gallery, Air and Space Museum, and/or the Museum of American History (the best, natch). We struggled in traffic a bit on the way to BWI, but we made it home on time - all healthy (but tired), happy (hopefully), and historically satisfied (without a doubt). The trip was fantastic, all due to our incredible chaperones and parents and the behavior of the class of 2015. We should all be proud of their behavior on the trip - they represented USM just as we would hope - with class. Hopefully everyone's appetite for historical travel is just beginning ...
