Candice's Memory

My favorite parts of the trip were seeing Phantom of the Opera on Broadway, and going with Mr. Lockwood on the "Death March" in DC and getting to see all the memorials at night in the rain I really learned a lot of things from Mr. Lockwood and I had a lot of fun (even though my feet hurt and it was 1:30am when we got back to the hotel). I enjoyed the entire trip these are just a few of my favorite memories! Thanks Mr. Lockwood for an memorable trip!

Note from Mr. Lockwood....it was only 12:30 when we got back

Logi's Memory

My favorite memories took place in Washington D.C. when we went to the monuments at night and when my dad and I went to the Smithsonian National History Museum. I really enjoyed the monuments ant night because there was something special about them at night. The way they looked and how sometimes massive they were. I really enjoyed the Korean War Monument because on one of the marble walls it stated that freedom is not free, it set me to thinking about all the lives that have been lost and will be lost to protect the freedom of our country and other countries. I realized that freedom wasn’t, isn’t, and will never be free. Also I enjoyed doing kart-wheels in the National Mall and chasing lightning bugs. My second favorite memory was at the Smithsonian National History Museum when we saw the Hope Diamond and the Logan Sapphire.

Sarah's Memory

My favorite moment on the New York/ D.C. trip was in New York at China Town. It was on our free day, my parents took me and a small group, of about 11 people, shopping. First we went to a pizza joint in So Ho, After we ate our hearts out, we walked up and down every street, and stopped in almost every store there was. After we walked through So Ho, we walked to China Town, to buy knock-off bags, of course, right away people started to come up to us and asked us to come with them down these dark alley ways to buy bags, it was kind of creepy. We walked through dark and nasty alleys, they took us into run-down buildings and up two flights of stairs. When we all got to the top they closed a curtain behind us, they took us into a dark room that was hidden behind a wall, and locked the door behind us. When the ladies turned the lights on we were surrounded by hand-bags.
After looking at bags for more than thirty minutes we started to
bargain with the people. They would give us high prices and we would tell them no, then they would yell at us, we were kicked out of one place when my mom and I started fighting with a man over the price of a bag. We went into about twenty places like this, it was so much fun. When we were finished shopping at China Town we walked one block over to Little Italy. My parents and I took the Group to my favorite Italian Restaurant in the World, El Pasitano, it was so good. When we were done eating we went to a few more stores, just for some final shopping, then my dad got a limo to pick us up in Little Italy and drop us off in Central Park, where we got into two carriages and raced through Central Park. After our little race, we went to Time Square and took pictures, then we went to the Hard Rock Cafe and we were there for almost two hours.
This trip was so much fun, and I will remember it for the rest of my
life, I want to thank Mr. Lockwood for making this trip so much fun, and
educational, of course.

Jacob's Memory

My favorite part of our trip was the Yankees vs. Boston game, and the whole Yankee experience. It was very exciting. One reason was that it was my first time to Yankee Stadium. The second reason is just having the feeling of "I am in Yankee Stadium! Baseball history has happened here more than any other baseball stadium." Before we went to the game, we had tickets to go on a tour of Yankee Stadium. We got to see the Press Box, the Memorial Park in the outfield, and we even got to go into the Yankee dugout. The game was a great experience. It was Yankees vs. Boston, I don’t think there is a bigger rivalry in baseball. The Yankees won 7-3 which made the game even better to me. The only thing I didn’t like was listening to "Boston *****!" for about 4 hours straight. The subway going back to the hotel was like nothing I've ever seen. There were hundreds.. no, thousands of people trying to get home from the game. People were shoving other people to get on the subway. It was so crowded the subway, but it was a great experience. The tour, the game, the fans, are like nothing you can find out here in California.
