Hey, well I am back before I ever left :D no, actually I left Tuesday but Monday when I wanted to tell everyone I was going to be leaving, it seems like the site was down, so I never got to say my goodbye's......anyway Tues. around 7AM we (me and my mother) left to Washington DC, took the train there (about 6 hour ride including 1 hour hanging around at Penn station) and got settled in around 4 or so in the afternoon. That night we did a night tour, Wed. we went to the air and space museum on our own (I loved it) and did a few other things, then Thurs and Fri we did a 2 day tour seeing pretty much everything else (all the Gov't buildings etc... Ford's theater, mt. vernon among many others) then Sat. we went to the Holocaust museum on our own and kinda went quickly through it, then went back to the hotel to get our stuff and got to the train station and came home (another 6 hour ride) got in around 11 last night.
We really only had 3 full days, but we managed to do alot (took alot of the tours) We saw alot of the sites, buildings and a few museums. Weather was pretty good for the most part, it was mostly 60 and only 50 1 or 2 days..... warmed up in the afternoon though. DC is built horizontal instead of vertical like NYC because no building can be taller then the Capital. the whole city is very clean, all he people are very nice and road rage is pretty low..... the oppisite applys to NYC, although you just gotta love NYC.
Although it was good to get back home, weather is getting nice (about time) but along with that comes the same ol' routine as before..... gotta get up for school tomorrow although it'll be good to see my friends again and stuff. IF you ever have a chance to go to Washington DC, go, just make sure to take the tours or you wont have a clue what much of the stuff means (as everything serves a purpose and has a meaning.
