So, if you couldn't tell by our lack of posts both Thursday and Friday, the last two days of our trip were busy! We had some of our most exciting experiences on Thursday and Friday and because I don't want to tell it all, you'll have to check back later in the week to hear some posts form the kids--but I'll tell you a little to keep you interested!

On Thursday we had the opportunity to talk with a panel of formerly homeless and homeless individuals to hear about their experiences with homelessness and living on the streets. This was probably one of the most eye opening experiences for our group. By talking with the group we were able to break down a lot of the myths and stereotypes about homelessness and were able to hear the incredible stories they had to share. 

Then, after lunch, we took a boat ride... more on that later. 

After our boat ride, we had the chance to run around the National Mall and to visit the Smithsonian Museum of Natural History before heading back to our hostel for dinner. Once back we had a phenomenal meal of spaghetti and meatballs provided by Jayne Sadowski (THANKS JAYNE!!!).

Alright, that should be enough to keep you reading... more later!
