Educational and Fun Trips:

  • Watch National Treasure (the movie from 2004)
  • Take a trip the National Archives in D.C. to see the Constitution, Bill of Rights, and Declaration of Independence, but…
    They also have the Super Bowl Trophy on loan from the Kansas City Chiefs, they have a whole exhibit on Title IX, learn why Presidents pitch Opening Day baseballs and other traditions, and more!
