D.C

Sorry I haven't been blogging much but I have kind of been busy. Anyways last week my family went to Washington D.c on a World War Two/Cherry blossom tour . We visited the national monument, the Jefferson memorial, the World War Two Memorial, the museum of American history and the Holocaust museum. We rode our bikes everywhere we went and it was nice not to have to find parking spots and be in the car all of the time, But it was SO windy. It was in the high forties but with the wind it felt like 20. The World War Two Memorial was really neat. It had all of the states that had men in the war engraved in these huge stone pillars. then we went to the national monument. You don't realize how big it is until you get right next to it. The hotel we stayed in was really new and very modern. In the parking spots nearest the entrance it had signs that read "Hybrid parking only!" Inside their were probably 20 huge HD TVs and lots of bright colors. In our room there were two of the nicest hotel beds I've ever felt and a HD of course. We even got to swim in the heated pool all by ourselves. The best part...... our room was only $60 a night! The next day we headed out to see the Holocaust museum. We didn't get to see much because you had to have a pass to go to certain parts. We did get to see a hall and movie about the propaganda that Hitler used while trying to take over the world. After that we went to see the cherry blossoms. We took probably 50 pictures of us in them.
We finally got home at three in the morning after eight hours of driving. Our trip was really interesting and I recommend it to about anyone.
