Today was an awesome day! I went to Washington D.C. with Allie and we had a great time! I had to wake up at 5:30 this morning though so I am really really tired now. I'm not even sure how coherent this blog will end up being. We went all over the place as much as we could today though. We arrived at around 12:00 and we had until 8pm to do whatever we wanted when the bus would be coming back to get us again. The first thing we went though was the holocaust museum. It was pretty sad to see all that went on during that time. We had to rush though the latter end of the museum though because we had so much we wanted to do today. After leaving that museum we headed over the the air and space museum. I really enjoyed that museum and Allie let me go around all over the place and look at a bunch of stuff. But even then we still had to rush at the end so we could get everythign else done. After that we headed over to see the Capitol. On the way over we stopped for lunch at one of the little hotdog stands. They were pretty decent hotdogs too. They do a good just. So we headed to the capitol and when we got there we saw a cop with a machine gun. That was pretty weird. You don't normally see that every day. There was also a group of people that was from a wedding and they were hanging out on the capitol lawn taking pictures and things. After leaving that site we went around to the Library of Congress. I was excited to see it as it has a copy of every book ever published.. unfortunatly it was closed by the time we got there. That was really sad. So we then had to hurry across to the complete other side of the Mall area so we had a good sized walk ahead of us from that. On During the trip across we stopped and Allie fed some birds that we eating out of her hand. She loved that part and she was cute doing it too. The next thing on the list was to see the white house so we made the long walk over to that. I thought it was cool to see it in real life. It is so much different that way. It was cool, we also saw the national christmas tree there also. By this time we only had an hour left before our busses were going to pick us up so we had one more thing we could do. I wanted to go see the Lincoln memorial so we started heading in that direction. We stopped for some dinner on the way over. We didn't have time for a sit down restaruant the whole day. I know Allie wanted to do that, but it just didn't work out. We can do sit down restaraunts anytime, anywhere. SO we just grabbed some eggrolls and a large pretzel for dinner and made the journey to the memorial. We made good time but it was a lot longer walk then I expected distance wise. We had to speed walk most of the time, and by this time both of our legs were killing us. But we made it and I think it was worth it. It was pretty cool to see that statue up close. We had to hurry back to the meeting point by this time though becuase time was running short. We made it back with about 8 minutes to spare. So we ended up having fairly good timing. It felt really good to just sit down and relax finally after getting on the bus. Both Allie and I tried sleeping on the way back but it was really cold and Allie fidgets a lot so it made it hard for both of us. But I think I got a little decent sleep in. I was extremely tired when I got back home, but I needed to return a call to someone when I got here and that ended up taking an hour and a half. I was really looking forward to going to bed too. But now that I'm two hours later I can finally head to bed. I won't want to wake up tomorrow for practice at church. *whaaah* I am going to need a nap tomorrow. Ok that it for now.. I need to sleep. Night!
