Travel Adventures, Inc. has announced a special student group tour package to the Nation's Capital for Presidential Inauguration on January 20, 2009. The package provides student groups and educators a once-in-a-life-time opportunity to watch the exciting "Inaugural Parade", and the famous "Swearing in Ceremony." Travel Adventures has also reserved the Spirit Cruise so that student groups can spend the day watching the Presidential Inauguration and cruise the Potomac River and dance the night away at their very own 'Inaugural Ball'."

In addition, the Museum of American History and Museum of Natural History provide great historical insights.

Kennedy's grave sites, and the grave of Joe Louis the famous "Brown Bomber". Cap off your visit by watching the famous "Changing of the Guard" ceremony at the Tomb of the Unknowns.
