Washington D.C.

Hello everyone! Vacation has been awesome so far! On Friday we went to see Joseph, as you all know. That play was the most amazing thing ever! It was funny, tear-jerking, and just plain old amazing. It's definitely a play that I would recommend to everyone. If I could, I'd go every day! lol On Saturday, after Dad went to the dentist, we ate at Friendly's, and went to Old Navy, we headed to D.C. When we finally got settled in and figured out how to ride the Metro (which is awesome!) we attempted to go the the Arlington Cemetery to watch the changing of the guard. Well, there was a bomb threat in either Pentagon or Pentagon City, and we had to get off the Metro at Crystal City, which was like 2 stops from where we were supposed to get off. So, we figured since we had to get off we might as well eat. Thankfully by the time we were done eating the Metro was able to go to Arlington Cemetery. We did NOT get to see the changing of the guard because it was too late. So basically, on our first day in D.C. we learned how to ride the subway. Now, we're all experts, except for Mom who says, "I'm just confused. I'll follow you guys."

On our second day in Washington D.C. we went to the National Aquarium and saw some really awesome fish, frogs, alligators, and other neat sea creatures. Did you know that an electric eel's digestive system is all in its head? And did you know that a Hellbender, a type of salamander, can grow up to 29 inches long and weigh up to five pounds?

At the aquarium, we saw this lobster that was HUGE!!! It weighed FIFTEEN pounds!! It was the ugliest thing you ever wanted to see. Actually, the Hellbender was uglier. Those things look like nasty slimy rocks. Ew!

After the aquarium we went up and to the Washington Monument and then to the National Museum of American History-at least I think that's what it's called. It was pretty neat. I didn't enjoy it fully because I had a headache and my feet were tired. We all were tired so we came back to the hotel and slept! (yes!)

After we woke up we went to Walmart and bought some shoes and other things. Then, we went to Denny's which was delicious! :) Well, we're getting ready to leave again, so I'll post later!! :)
Have fun in Pennsylvania with all your brown grass, while I enjoy a sunburn in sunny D.C.!
