Last full day in DC

Today was our last day in DC. We finally found out what the National Treasure is but I think it's against Kyle's rules to tell you all. : ) We visited all the memorials today, it really made me think. freedom isn't free. all those innocent men and women died for all of us and we owe to them to use it to the best of our abilities. : ) So we all promised we will. : ) I can't wait to come home tomorrow!!!

Today, our last full day of National Treasure was very fun. The White and Red teams went to Ford Theatre, I never thought I would see where Lincoln was assasinted. It was quite the expirence. We also went to the American History Museum, the White House Visitors Center, the Lincoln Memorial, Jefferson Memorial, Vietnam Memorial, Korean Memorial, and the Rossevelt Memorial.

Then Kyle gave us the "National Treasure Final Speech" which explained what the National Treasure is. I can't believe that our Journey is almost over. This has been the best expirence I have ever had, I know I have never laughed so hard in my entire life.

Dang!!! Washington D.C. is so freakin awesome. Today we had the oppurtunity to go to the Korean and Vietnam memorials. There is certain feeling about those places a holiness maybe? I felt so proud to be an American. I'm so glad I had the opportunity to be here and to experience the things I've experienced. I've always enjoyed studying about history and learning all about the founding fathers, but now that I've actually been here and seen it I have such a greater understanding and appreciation for the sacrfices and services that our country has made.

God Bless America.

Today I saw both the Ford Theater and the Lincoln Memorial. For those of you who don't know what the Ford theater is, it is where Lincoln was assassinated. Although Abraham Lincoln did not live during the founding period, he was one of the greatest and most patriotic Americans to ever live. His courage and strength was what kept our great nation together. Not every great American has to come from the founding period. The people of this nation, the true patriots, those who understand and live the Founders' legacy will keep this nation together. Even if we, like Lincoln, have to seal our acts and our words with our blood.

These past two weeks have been so fun! We have had so much fun together and bonded as a big group. I love my team... we have gotten along perfectly! We all have a great time during lunch trying each other's food! Today we went to the Lincoln memorial, and its definately been one of my favorite places. I'm really sad to leave everybody here, but i hope we can all keep in touch. If your kid doesnt have a facebook make sure they get one! :D

Sam, thanks so much for all you've done to make this trip possible. This camp along with my summer has changed my life. I'll never be able to forget it. You are such a great person and I never got to thank you enough. Hope I'll see you and Bri soon!

Love you all! :D

Thanks to Sam for everything he did for this trip. Same goes to Kyle. This trip has been so amazing that I can't even explain it! I was missing two weeks of football for it and now I would miss two weeks of anything for it because I have had so much fun! I can't believe that we have to come home tomorrow it really stinks.

National Treasure has been a great experience for me this summer. Being in the east is a whole new thing and I have learned so much about our country. Thank you Kyle and Sam and everybody else on this trip for making it so much fun for me.
