APGov DC Trip 24 Day 1

MRHSAPGovDC24 started with a 4am departure from school in order to catch a 7am JetBlue flight from Logan to DCA.

The flight was smooth and on time. We got our bags and figured out the SmartTrip app in our AppleWallets to get on the Metro, arriving at L'Enfant Plaza station (exit A) and taking the short walk to Holiday Inn Capitol Hill. 

After dropping our bags (and a quick change), we got to the Air and Space Museum right at 10 and enjoyed the exhibits (some of it still under renovation). 

From there we walked down the the NMAAHC - African American History and Culture Museum. We spent a couple hours immersed in the history exhibit, walking through 400 years of uneven progress. 

After lunch at the Sweet Home Cafe, we took in the culture exhibits on the upper floors. We then walked down to the National Archives to inspect our founding documents before heading back to the hotel to check in. 

After a quick nap, we walked down to the Wharf for dinner - getting a little damp in the only rain we would see on the trip. Back to the hotel for an early bed for some tired travelers.
