Finally! Curious George and I have returned from our trip to Washington, DC and Virginia. We visited 3 cities in Virginia: Jamestown, Williamsburg, and Yorktown. I think my favorite place to visit in the DC area was Mount Vernon, the home of our first president George Washington. It was a pretty long trip to get there by using the metro and public bus systems. The trip was completely worth the effort. Washington's home has been restored to when he lived there, including the outbuildings and gardens. The weather in DC was hot and humid and there were around 200,000 Girl Scouts visiting and celebrating the 100th anniversary of their organization. I enjoyed being a Girl Scout for 9 years!
Virginia is a beautiful state. Colonial Williamsburg is a fun and educational place to visit. I was lucky to receive a fellowship to attend their Teacher Institute last week. I was there with 27 other educators from Oklahoma and we were able to experience the founding of our country through different perspectives of the people who lived there during the late 1700s. We teachers came home with a renewed sense of citizenship and tons of resource materials to share with our faculty and staff. What an honor to represent our state!
Here is a little video I made showing some of the things Curious George did while we were on this trip. I hope you enjoy it!
