Carly: July 2010

Going to Washington was sooooo much fun! I lllooovvveeeddd it!! Me and my friends had a blast! If i was able to go again I would!

On the first day, we started off the early, early morning with breakfast at this place near Camp David. It was really good...the only bad part was getting up at like, 5:45 in the morning and having to share the restaraunt's bathroom with about 40 other girls. Haha. After that, we went to Arlington National Cemetery to get a tour and to see the changing of the guard. We didn't get to see that though because the like Prime Minister from somewhere was there and he was gonna like put a wreath or something on the tomb. It was rrreeeaaallllllyyyy long and hotttt but it was pretty cool.

After that, we went to the White House.

After that, we had lunch at the Old Post Office which was realy cool. It was my favorite place to eat and shop! Then we went to go see the Vietnam Wall, Lincoln Memorial, Korean War Monument, FDR, WW2, and Jefferson Memorial.

After the Korean War Monument, my camera died so I didn't get pictures of anything besides the Lincoln Memorial and the Korean War Monument...sorry :/

After we finished at the mall, we went to Verginia (where our hotel was) and ate dinner. Then we checked into our hotel and went swimming and played ultimate frisbee. It was a lot of fun!

The next day, we were able to go off with just our group and go see what we wanted to. My group was me, Olivia, Darby, Bridget, and Julia. On that day, first, we went to Fords Theater. Unfortunately, the fastest way to get there was by taking the metro. I absolutely hated every secong of that. It was scary and loud and nasty but, luckily i made it out alive!

After that, we went to the Holocaust Museum (where you couldn't take pictures) and the Natural History Smithsonian Museum.

After that, we went back to the hotel and had a pizza party at the pool and played some ultimate frisbee again and then we went to our rooms.

The next day, we went to Baltimore! When we were there, we went to the Aquarium and saw a Dolphin Show and went to a mall!!!!!!! It was really really cool!!
