4th of July in the Nation's Captial

Check one thing off my Bucket List!

Last week, I was a chaperone on the Citizenship Washington Focus 4-H Trip. We bought 53 15-19 year old Ohio 4-H Teen Leaders to the nations capital. 9 other states also participated in CWF while we were there. On our first full day there we were able to celebrate the 4th of July.

We watched the fireworks from the National Mall. It is pretty amazing to take pictures and in every picture is the Washington Memorial.

The wind blew the smoke from the fireworks our direction. So the smoke ended up blocking some of the fireworks. Another great place to watch the fireworks was Iwo Jima Memorial. I highly recommend putting this on your bucket list and making it happen!

Beautiful, Washington Memorial

Korean Memorial

Jefferson Memorial

WWII Memorial

Please visit our Nation's Captial. It is full of history, meaning, educational experiences, and patriotism.
