There is no doubt our nation’s capitol is a place all Americans must visit at least once — if for no other reason than to see the sweeping marble architecture of a city that sparkles with life and history. That is, of course, to say nothing of the treasures it holds — the Smithsonian, the Vietnam War Memorial, and the Lincoln Memorial, to name a few. To a group of teenagers from New Technology High School, such things were fascinating and interesting (although it must be noted that in some places, more time was spent in awe of such strange things as snow and ice — we are California kids, after all).
