What a gorgeous view of Washington DC at 555 feet in the air. You can see the White House, Lincoln memorial, the Ellipse, the Smithsonian's,
the Capitol building, and much much more! Looking around in the top I felt invincible. Like nothing could go wrong, I saw everything around for miles. I couldn't help but think that our founding fathers struggled to make this world what we have and that this is one small piece left behind.
Many things that they DID leave we surrounded with sky scrappers and house and we lost the importance of our country's history through it all. You could say that we still have it all but it is all tucked away in the tallest building on the highest shelf in the biggest book. But who would be brave enough to open it and discover all the little secrets?
"If not me, then who?
If not now, then when?"
We also went to Fords Theatre to see where President Lincoln was shot.
We got to see his seats that are still the same as from the night he was killed along with the gun used to shoot him. We heard the story and the real story not some phony story you hear online. It was truly amazing to learn a little piece from the past.
You think your History teachers know everything? THINK AGAIN! Not even close. You need to get up close and personal to discover what your not taught because that...is the interesting stuff!
Another AMAZING day :)
