Recently I met this girl in my LDS ward. As we got to know each other better we came to find out that we are both nannies in the same area. We became friends instantly.
We had been talking about going to Washington DC, so yesterday we went. We found parking and then got ready for an adventure. Are adventure then began by walking to the first monument.
We went to the Jefferson Monument.
Then we went to the Lincoln Monument and enjoyed the view. I felt like he would come alive (I think I've seen Night at the Museum too many times.)
Then we went and found food. We both got Philly cheese steaks. They were really good.
After we ate we proceeded to the Air and Space Museum in the Smithsonian Mall. We walked through it and saw Amelia Earhart and the Wright brothers. After that we walked to the United States Botanic Gardens, which was really pretty. It was pretty because some of the flowers I saw I would never get to see anywhere else. I really liked the orchids. It has plants from all over the world.
After all of this waking we got tired, so we stopped for some ice cream. We found a little vendor and I bought a DC sweatshirt.
As we were right next to the Holocaust Museum, we went in to see if we could get tickets. We ended up not getting tickets due to the time, as we arrived right after the last open slot.
It was cool seeing all the sites since I doubt I will ever get to see them again. Plus it was fun going with a friend and we could see the sites we wanted to see. The best is that we didn't have to stay long at them because we knew all about the sites due to High School government classes.
