Today at five o'clock in the morning Dad,Mom,Jamie and I had to get so we could all get ready to go to the church. So we all piled into Tightsqueeze car and went to church except that we made a little detour so we could get a twelve pack of doughnuts at Doughnut Connection. So we got to the church on time, got on the "luxury" bus that was taking to Washington DC. I got stuck sitting in the back of the bus with a boy (whose name I don't know). This boy was quite a few years older than me and his butt took up half of my seat and all of his. So I was squished in the corner listening to my CD player. Once they guy driving the bus started it up and driving all the little kids squealed and the slightly older ones started running up and down the isle to see how they could walk while the bus was moving. Another thing they experimented with was the bathroom in the very back of the bus. EVERY like two minutes a kid would go in there just to stand in there to see how it felt. Anyway, after a while things settled down. The "normal" trouble makers all sat in the back and of course the father that thinks that kids will actually listen to him when he talks very low and quite who tries to make those trouble makers stop what they are doing. Since we were riding in a "luxury" bus there was no belt buckle and you could stand up while the bus was moving so when I got tired of sitting next to the boy with the big butt I got up and walked a little. Finally after two whole hours of baby screaming and children yelling we made it to DC. The first place we walked to was the statues near the Reflection Pool. The statues were green like moss because of how they rust. After that we walked the Botanical Gardens. Let me say that I haven't been so amazed with plants in my life.
Like there was a whole room that had a array of Rainforest plants and trees,and I am not talking shrubs and pots either, The whole room looked like a Rainforest!!!!I think we spent at least an hour there.Then we walked on the steps of the Capitol Building. The view was like on the TV except better!!! After that we walked to The Library of Congress. The Library of Congress is so wicked awesome!!! Like the whole building is made of marble and the best artwork I have EVER seen in my life. They had murals that depicted good and bad leadership,beautiful stonework and mosaic pictures.
When we went into the Library I was awestruck if my jaw to the floor it would have. There us like three different levels of JUST books. Every single type of Dictionary,Thresaurs,Adventure,Action,Mystery.One bad thing is,is that the "special" librarian's can look at them except if you get some kind of designated pass apon which you can read a book in their one of a many reading rooms. By the time we finished up the tour we were all VERY hungry so we took a tunnel underneath the Jefferson Building to the Madison Building where we went upstairs and got a very yummy lunch at the Cafeteria. I had chicken nuggets with bbq sauce,mozzarella sticks,chicken with rice,mashed potatoes,broccoli soup and Red Gatorade. It was muy delishioso!!! When we were finished with lunch we went to American Indian museum. What stunk was that we couldn't bring our drinks in there so we had to throw them away but o well. We didn't really look and read a lot of the stuff there because we were in a rush to get to the Air & Space museum. After the American Indian museum we walked very fastly to Air & Space museum. Air & Space is another "jaw dropping" museum. It had actual rockets standing up,Air tropghies,a simulation airplane and an Imax Dome Space 3-d. It was so kool!!! After an hour we more hurriedly went to the Smithsonian Castle. The only reason we went there was because my Dad wanted to see the architecture. Behind the castle was a Zen like garden with circles overlapping circles on a bridge over the pond. Then we had to go back to the Nature museum so get back on our bus. So for an hour I did everything without shoes on inside the bus because my feet hurt so bad!!! Sixty minutes later we went to a Burger King while some other went to McDonald's. I got Chicken Whopper,it tasted ok. Thirty minutes later we were back on the road. The last few minutes were bad because 1. The two girls behind me were like "can you lower your music?" but I wasn't sure if they ment my singing or my music so i jsut said "Sorry!" anmd turned it down a few notches 2.A lady was talking to another lady and I said "excuse me "but she didn't moved so I tried to squeeze by her but we bumped butts and the the lady said "Excuse you" I said "Sorry!" 3.After bumping butts with a lady I knocked my hand on the back of a guy's head and of course I said 'sorry". By then it was time to get all of our stuff off the bus and go home except for us because we had to stay for a business meeting at church. I just played the Piano in the sanctuary. Then finally we all went home!!!
