On March 27th through the 31st, I took a class trip to our nation's capitol- Washington D.C. It was a really really fun trip and I had a great time seeing all the sites and enjoying the history of our country. I was actually priveleged to fly up there (PRAISE THE LORD!!!), beacause last time we drove and it took maybe... 16 hours. Anyways, most students had to take their parents (well I shouldn't say HAD, but most of them got mad at their moms... I wouldn't have :>), but my mom stayed home and I stayed with a friend from school. So on Thursday, (yes this was a school day but we got to miss it AND Friday) we flew up their on Southwest Airlines to Dulles International Airport. This was outside of the city so we had to take a bus, and a metro to get to get to our hotel. That night we pretty much just hung out the hotel. The next day, we went to the Supreme Court building which was pretty cool even though we didn't stay for long. Later that day we went to the Capitol building. This was my second time, and I loved it just as much as the first time. The building's architecture is very amazing and it is probably the coolest looking building in DC, but it's also amazing to think of all the history that took place there... as is cool with every other building in DC. I also believe we went to the Air and Space museum which of course was cool to me because I want to be a pilot. On Saturday, we went to have a tour of the White House. It was really cool, but we had to stand outside in 40 degree weather until we went inside. Unfortunately we only got to see about 7 rooms and couldn't go in there. However, it was still awesome. Then we went to see Arlington Cemetery which was sad because of all the graves just lined up, that represent each soldier who died to protect our freedom. After that we returned t our hotel and sat around playing cards and other things. The next day was my favorite. First off, we went to the Holocaust museum, which was said to be the finest one in the world, but it was very very sad. It was awful to see human beings like us being treated like they were by Hitler. Then we went back to the hotel, and played cards again worked out swam, and so on. Then we went back out for a night tour of all the monuments and memorials. This was my favorite part about the trip because I got alot of good pictures and it was AMAZING to see the stuff at night. My favorite was the WORLD WAR TWO memorial. I got some amazing pictures, but unfortunately I have no idea how to get them on blogger so... you have to come over to see them. Well that is all for this one, and that was an amzing trip and I can't wait to go back.

Wow....some oblivious and self absorbed Aunt I am......
I didn't even know you were gone!
Haha. It's okay Dana... I did not tell you, so it is not your fault. However, maybe the pain of your nephew being gone and you not knowing is making you feel dumb and evil. Maybe I will let you stay in this position for a while. APRIL FOOLS!!!!!!!!! Next time I go on a vacation, I will let you know so that you don't feel that way.
