long day.

well, actually, long 3 days.

Wednesday-

SPY MUSEUM!!! AWESOME!!

Also, go to the National Mall at sunset. The Washington Monument with the sun setting... gorgeous. Although, apparently you can't pray on the lawn in front of the capitol building because it is a form of public protest...?

Thursday-

Thrive DC... so cool :)

Children of Mine... even cooler :)

Urban Plunge. Okay, this is where it gets interesting.

-group divided into two teams. Mine: Me, Dan, Mr Rob.

-we are assigned the Union Station for our "plunge."

-we are given $2 each and 2.5 hours.

-we are to find dinner for ourselves and to share with somebody.

-we are to find answers to a bunch of questions about what life is like as a homeless person in DC.

...eventually, we found the McDonald's and a guy named Sam. We ate dinner with him. He was very cool... totally intelligent... and he played ukulele!! (bonus awesome points)

Friday-

we beat the World Vision DC record for most emergency toiletry kits packed in 4 hours! The last record was set by a group of 13 or 14, and we only had 8 people. So it was coolER.

Swing was awesome as well! saw everybody-whose-names-I-am-too-lazy-to-type.
