I couldn't pass up the opportunity to help chaperon the Lake Shore Elementary (NC) School's 5th grade Field Trip to Washington DC. Most important, I wouldn't trust any other parent to fully keep an eye on my daughter in the nation's capital. Having just moved to NC from the DC region 2 years ago, it wasn't like we were dying to go back. We did have some fun and actually did visit some sites that we hadn't visited when we were Virginia residents for 8 years including Arlington National Cemetery, National Archives (made me go watch National Treasures again) and Mount Vernon and Monticello. You would think with this many 5th graders on and off buses and in a hotel for three days, we would have behavior problems with the kids. Hat's off to the Lake Shore kids, they were well behaved, now some of the parents, that was a different story.Monday, March 31, 2008
