DC


Well, Georgetown and DC were lots of fun. The 'Newseum' (huge interactive museum devoted to the news and various news media) was awesome and a MUST-SEE. We also took a double decker tour bus all over town (got off at White House and Washington Monument) though you get driven past all the sites and important buildings. Some of us wanted to loop around and around and ride on it all day (ha ha) but the sun was very hot and then the sky opened up with rain! The restaurants and shops at Georgetown were very cool and that's where our hotel was.

Michael is running a full schedule with his Sports Industry Management class at Georgetown U. but has already gone to visit the Washington Nationals executive offices (and got to sit in the Nats dugout). Friday night they will go to a game. Today they're off to a big golf tournament. From what I understand there are many speakers and lecturers that come each day and the kids are also working on group projects for the week. His dorm is spacious and GORGEOUS and faces the Potomac River. He will be home on Sunday, yaaay!

At the Newseum, you can "Be A TV Reporter". You choose a background, and for what your background is, is what you are reporting about. For instance, I choose the Nationals Park, so I was talking about the Nationals. There is a small screen and it says what you say and you say it. You have a microphone and everything. They video tape it and you can view it online. (If you buy it). Most parts of the Newseum was fun. Also, we miss Michael so much!!!!!!!!!

Cheryl and Nicole, Great review about your trip. I'd love to hear from Elizabeth, what her favorite place to see AGAIN was.
I have never been to the Newseum, it sounds like a lot of fun too.
