Well, our Senator Stotz has been busy today. After a quick bus tour of our nation's capitol, we stopped by Grant's statue for a great picture of the Champions and their families. It was fun to see them all together. Next, we headed to the Dirksen Federal Building to have a Senate luncheon. We were eager to see if anyone from Illinois would represent. Senator Burris send as assistant to meet us. Of course she was from the North Shore and grew up close to where I teach! Weird.
We then went back to the hotel, changed, and headed off to the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum. Aidan had fun exploring all of the offerings. We are now back at the hotel and ready for a night of swimming at the pool and hanging out with new friends. We are loving some of the new families we have met. What great fun they are. Tomorrow will be thrill...as we are meeting President Obama in the afternoon. I will try, Miss Shaban's 1st grade class, to deliver the wonderful letters you wrote. Security is tight, but I will try! Tomorrow night is the send-off party at ESPN Zone. We are so sad to think about leaving these wonderful families. Thanks for the nice notes many of you are leaving. I share them with Aidan. He loves it! Can't wait to update everyone tomorrow. What a thrill!
Till next time...
Hello Aidan! We are missing you here at school. It sounds like the Air and Space Museum was really cool. Be sure to get a good look at President Obama today so you can describe him to us.
ReplyDeleteOh, and for Miss Shaban, be sure to check out those beautiful cherry blossoms!
Take care and have another amazing day! We can't wait to see you later this week.
Miss Shaban and your 1D classmates
Aidan, You look like you are having a blast! I miss seeing your smiling face at dismissal time. You always brighten my day with your beautiful smile. Hugs from Mrs. Sherman
ReplyDeleteAmazing, Amazing, Amazing! Sounds like you had a wonderful day! We are all so happy for you and can't believe you got to shake President Obama's hand (twice!) How wonderful for you. You are so lucky you got to play on the President's daughters' play set. I bet that is one of the best ones out there! Have a great time at your party and we will be waiting to see you on Thursday:)
