Afterward, the group will head over to the National Archives to see some of the most important documents in U.S. history, including the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution. In the evening, the group will have dinner in a local restaurant and then take a walking tour around the mall of the Washington, Jefferson and F. Roosevelt memorials. After checking into the hotel at the end of the day, there will be a time for devotions before lights out.

While there, you will have time for photos and shopping with the local street vendors. Lunch will be in the city today, followed by an afternoon visit to the Capitol Building and a walk over to the Supreme Court. (Optional tours must be arranged through a member of Congress.) You’ll have dinner in the city and then take a walking tour of the war memorials for World War II, Korea, and Vietnam. Your evening will end with devotions at the hotel before you turn in.
