Mia's 8th Grade DC/NYC Class Trip

My oldest daughter Mia will be going on her 8th grade class trip to Washington DC and New York City in April of 2016.  This is a fabulous educational opportunity for her, and we are doing everything possible to help make this trip a reality for Mia. The total trip cost is about $2500, with her Dad and I shouldering most of the cost. Any help our family and friends could provide would be so appreciated!
