Washington DC trip

Matheus traveled to Washington DC with an AFS group......he left on Nov 10th, with a fellow foreign exchange student, Gunay. Gunay's host father, Dr. Einstein transported Gunay and Matheus to the Charlotte area where they spent the night with a family before rising EARLY to depart for the capital. They were gone until the 14th and got to visit several places including Colonial Williamsberg on their way back where they stayed at the Great Wolf Lodge and enjoyed the indoor water park there.



Matheus made a new friend during the ferry ride.

At the Lincoln Memorial

It was really cool as they ended up being there on Memorial Day and there were flowers placed at the memorials in honor of those who have given their lives for our country.

Check out this video of the changing of the guards at the tomb of the unknown soldier on the next post.




He returned on Nov 14th....Tommy and I picked him up at Concord Mills Mall....

I even got to shop for a pair of new Easy Spirits while I was there....ha.

They had a GREAT time!!! But we are happy to have him back home.
