So I am on the Washington D.C. part of my summer and today was the start of what's going to be an amazing week. We arrived in the D.C. area around 12:30pm and stopped at the Potomac Mills Mall.... can you say Ikea? Well we didn't stop there but we ate some righteous food court food and bought some incredibly cheap shirts at Steve & Barry's.
After our quick stop we drove around the National Mall area for like 30 mins trying to find a parking spot, try parallel parking a 15 passenger van... not cool. After finding parking we headed over to the Einstein Memorial, Lincoln Memorial, and the Vietnam Memorial.
We then met our CSM team host, Sarah Rodriguez and she took us to our first ethnic restaurant, Wok N' Roll!
We had some Chinese goodness in the same building where over 100 years ago the plan to assassinate President Abraham Lincoln was made. Who knew history would evolve into Sesame Chicken and Lo Mien?
After dinner we started our first big project of the week, a prayer tour of the city. We began at the Washington Monument & White House praying for the leaders of our nation and ending at the National Cathedral praying for the city of D.C., Crosspointe, and for God to open hearts and eyes to what He will be teaching us this week. I can't wait to see how God will move in our students and how this will stretch them past life in Cary, NC.
Student bloggers start tomorrow!
