Our Day in Arlington











Hello, this is Dalis and Makenzie!
Yesterday was a busy time. After a long day of standing in the cold and laying our wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, we went to Cathedral College and we were assigned roommates and dorms. We had about 45 minutes to unpack and then we headed to the Kennedy Center of Performing Arts where we saw the “Al Farah” choir. They are from Syria and most of the songs were in Arabic but everyone loved it. As soon as that ended we started walking to Bangkok Joe's, a Thai restaurant. When we sat down, everyone was buzzing with excitement for the new food we would soon taste. Half of the students used chopsticks to eat their meal. After delectable feasting, we walked outside to the Potomac River and enjoyed seeing the sites Washington D.C. has to offer. As we were returning to the Kennedy Center parking lot, we came across a red light with no cars. Some student illegally jaywalked.

  2. What a beautiful picture of all of you in Carden Green!

    I can't believe there were jaywalkers, however. Tsk Tsk.

  3. What a beautiful cross! It looks like the florist did an amazing job! No, I did not say "Carden County School"!! Darn accent -- confuses people every time. :)

    I didn't know any of our students could look as serious as the four of you look! Maybe Mr. Harvey needs one of those military uniforms to keep you in line. :)
