Roo and Clara Smith are finally back at OCS. He and his sister Clara have been in 7 states and two countries this past summer. They started out their summer with an exotic trip down to Puerto Vallarta, Mexico to do mission work in an orphanage. Their family and them stayed in Puerto Vallarta for a little over a month. Roo started going to a spanish school while Clara and her sisters worked at the orphanage. Roo met up with them after his school got out.
When they came home from Mexico they went directly to a christian music festival named Creation. Creation was in Enumclaw, Washington this year after it was at the Gorge in eastern Washington the year before. People say that the Gorge was a much better location because it was at a canyon instead of fair grounds in Enumclaw. They said it was a very eye-opening experience.
After they went to Creation music festival they came home for a week then went off on their east-coast adventure. On their first stop they went to their grandparents house in Williamsburg, Virginia they stayed there for about a two weeks. While they were there they dropped their oldest sister, Maddy, off at college in Williamsburg at the college of William and Mary.
Their next stop was to their aunt's house in Annapolis, Maryland. They stayed there for about one week or so. While they were there they saw the Naval Academy. For them that was almost the highlight of their summer. While in Annapolis they are only 30 minutes away from Washington D.C and Baltimore. They went to our nations Capitol, Smithsonian Museums, Library of Congress, White House, and even to the top of the Washington Monument.
The Smith kids also went to Philadelphia to watch the Philadelphia Phillies play baseball. They also walked around in old Philadelphia and saw the Liberty Bell and Independence Hall. They also went to New York, New York and watched a baseball game at Yankee Stadium.
From New York they drove from New York to Washington D.C then took their flight out from there to Washington. Within two days they were back at OCS.
