Our field trip to Washington, D.C., was lots of fun. First, my group went to F.D.R.—The Franklin Delano Roosevelt Memorial— and explored. Roosevelt loved water so there were lots of waterfalls in F.D.R. My friends and I took a picture next to the Roosevelt’s dog, Fala. Then we followed the Potomac River up to the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial. We saw King carved in the stone. Then we walked through the Mountain of Despair and across the street to the World War II Memorial. As we walked, we smelled the beautiful trees around us. My group sat down and had lunch before we went in. Inside the memorial, there was a large pool of water in the middle. My group took lots of funny photos. We also saw a statue for each state in the U.S.A. Before we went to the Lincoln Memorial, we stopped at a gift shop. The ice cream I got felt cold and creamy in my mouth. Then we walked inside and witnessed the amazing statue of Abe. We saw and learned a lot in D.C.!
My favorite memorial was F.D.R. I loved reading all of the quotes said by Roosevelt and the water was beautiful. I heard it splashing and thrashing in the pool like a war. I like learning about Roosevelt and I thought the designers of the memorial did a great job. I’m really glad we went on a field trip! I love Washington, D.C.!
