Washington DC

Most travel groups arrive in the nation’s capitol and head straight to the National Mall. After all, nowhere else on the planet can you visit so many Smithsonian museums of your choice all within mere feet of each other! Have some drama lovers!? Maybe you want to see the ruby slippers from the Wizard of Oz at the Museum of American History. Any aspiring royalty in the group? Gawk at the rare gemstones at the Museums of Natural History. Perhaps its time to remember the King of Pop – and check out Michael Jackson’s fedora at the newest Smithsonian museum. Or, consider the impressive and newly opened Museum of African American History – a testament to the many untold stories of our nation’s history. On the way to lunch you may just catch a glimpse of this little home we call – the White House. Only the most well-known and recognizable residence in America! Fear not though, as the sun goes down it does not take with it the magic of the city with it – students will be dazzled by an Illuminated Night Tour of the monuments and memorials showing them LITERALLY in a whole new light.
