2. Ever sense I was little I
wanted to go to
Washington DC, so when
the 8th grade DC trip
came around I was very
excited. We had to get up
very early that day and
head to the school for a 7
hour bus ride. When we
finally got to the hotel in
Virginia we all settled in
and went to bed.

3. The next morning we got
back on the bus and got
stuck in a massive traffic
jam. The first place we
stopped at was Mount Vernon
the home of George
Washington.

4. . After that we went to the
Washington monument and
took pictures at the top of
the monument. When we
were done we walked to the
Capital building and took a
tour.

5. Later we went to the Lincoln
on memorial and had to
count all the steps leading
up to his memorial. The last
stop of the day we went to
the Iwo Jima memorial.

6. Then the next we went and
watched some guy talk about
Lincoln’s death at the Ford
Theater, when suddenly this
random guy from the crowd
started telling jokes while
another dude played the
ukulele. After that we went
to the Vietnam memorial.

7. Then we went out to
lunch at the
international buffet and
there was a drunken
hobo asking the
teachers for money.
When we were done we
went to the holocaust
museum.

8. The last stop of that day was
the at the World War 2
memorial were this guy tried
converting me to some weird
religion.
The next morning we walked
to the white house and took
lots of picture

9. After that we went to the
Newseum. Then a few
friends and I got some ice-
cream from a questionable
ice cream truck in front of
the national archives.

10. When we were done we all
took a big picture on the
Albert Einstein statue.
The next day we went to a
cathedral and the teachers
surprised us by taking us to
the National Zoo

11. Then the trip was over
and we had to go back
home. That why I love
Washington DC.
