Today was an awesome day to say the least! We slept in until 8:30 which felt amazing! We got in line for the Smithsonian (Natural History) right at 10am and didn’t have to wait in line for too long. We spent the morning here exploring and had a blast. We headed out around lunch time and found a great sandwich shop to refuel and set off on our next adventure. We decided to head to the Botanical Gardens which were beautiful! Next we all decided we needed to cool off with some ice cream and we even found a fountain to run through. We marveled at the art in the National Gallery and had a lot of fun coming up with funny captions for some of the art. We then did a quick tour of the American Indian Museum before walking over to the Basin to pedal boat. On our boats we were able to get some great views of the Jefferson and MLK memorials. We all agree pedaling via boat was way more difficult than pedaling our bicycles. By this time we were all hungry for dinner and ordered black bean burgers and wings to the hotel where we ate a final dinner together. We talked and laughed about the highlights of our trip and had a great time reflecting on all the fun we had together. All our trekkers are looking forward to seeing their families tomorrow, but we will all miss each other! I hope all our trekkers continue to cycle and explore. It has been amazing to see everyone’s growth in so many ways! We did it!! Until next time – Gabby
