The Close-Up Trip

Hi everybody,

This is Brianna. I just wanted to tell you some of the exciting things we did at Close -Up. My most favorite thing was the Lincoln Memorial and the spot were Martin Luther King Jr. stood for the "I Have a Dream" speech. In the memorial it had his Gettysburg address he read which we had to memorize for Mr. Wonderful. Other great things we say was the Arlington Cemetary in it we could see Robert E. Lee's house and we saw The Tomb of the Unknown Soilder. What was soooo great about The Tomb of the unknown Soilder was The Switching of Guards and the marching of the soilders who are suppose to protect The Unkown Soilders. We also got to see both of our Senators for Georgia and we are going to be on The Close -Up website for a showing of when we saw our Senator Isakson. So look out for that!!! I don't want to spill all the great things we did so I will let the other students who went with me to tell you the other things we saw but, it was a great trip and I hope you can go next year!!!
