On May 31st, Jentry and I loaded a bus with 34 other students at 12:00 a.m., yes that is correct... A.M., and we headed east. First stop OMA to board a plane to Chicago. From Chicago we boarded a second plane to Washington D.C.

We also got to visit the Holocaust Memorial Museum which may have been my trip favorite. It was a very powerful experience.
World Classrooms did not disappoint. Every step of the trip was well planned. I may have been a bit spoiled because now I don't want to have to plan nor make any decisions on any future trips. Just tell me where to go!
