Monday was packed with memorable experiences, including visits to several Washington, D.C. monuments, the Holocaust Memorial Museum, Smithsonian museums, the Jefferson Memorial, the World War II Memorial, and the Lincoln Memorial. The day concluded with a group dinner and time to reflect on all they had learned.
