Day 6: A Real Thriller in D.C.

Another busy morning for our mission crew. With the week winding towards its close, the children are still maintaining their high energy levels while the rest of us are feeling a tad sapped. It was all for a good cause, however, as the kids showed us yet another good time with their earnest desire to enjoy themselves.

A short game of basketball was followed by a trip into the heart of Washington D.C. to see the impressive architectural display that is the Capitol building. The wait to get inside, buffered by multiple security checks, was a little lengthy yet worthwhile as we explored three of the major areas of the capitol and saw the expressive busts and statues of many of our nations heroes. Later, we enjoyed a fine meal at the ESPN Zone along with a multitude of fun games in the arcade there. A ride on the metro back to the church's van concluded the day as we returned home in preparation for tomorrow's finale at Grace.
