Old Town Trolley Tour.

today was probably the most busy of all the days. 

laura and i woke up at 7:30 got ready and headed to D.C. we got there at the union station and from there we got a cool tour called the old town trolley tour. (i highly recommend it) 

 first we went to the capitol. i had already been but it was nice to go when it wasn't so full of people. (i was struggling in this picture though)

and this one a little too.


we then went to the national garden. it has different rooms according to the area that the plant grows. so in this picture i am in the jungle room. 


 we then headed to the air and space museum. it was cool! this is the shuttle they landed on mars in... what? i know. (sorry about the blurry picture, it's lauras fault)


we then headed to the Jefferson memorial. this place was cool, it had a great view of the river and the statue is so freaking huge!


this is me trying to model in front of the river just outside of the jefferson memorial. 


failing. again.


we went to the Arlington cemetery and it was really cool, but i kind felt more emotional than i thought i would. i just don't like cemeteries. they don't hold any good memories... for anyone


it was cool to see JFK's tombstone, and his wife (Jackie) . there is also a fire burning there next to where he was buried and since they buried him there the fire has never gone out. they keep it continually burning. sweet huh?





 there are just too many people buried here. it's just so sad to see. it's crazy to see all the people who sacrificed their lives for our country. 


i then went to the lincoln memorial and loved it. i have seriously been so excited to go the whole entire trip. so happy we we went!


 we then went to the Vietnam veterans memorial. we found a realative of laura's and it was pretty neat. we also found two hatchs, but i'm not sure if we are related or not


we then headed to ford's theater. (i'm not going to explain what this place is... you should just know.)

it was really sad... 


we then went to the peterson house where lincoln died. so sad! it was a really cool tour and it was free. 

after the ford theater and we went to the national archives museum. THIS WAS THE COOLEST EVER. i'd have a picture but pictures aren't allowed... so you can't see anything. i was about to cry from the happiness i felt from seeing the constitution. i don't know. my american heritage taught so deeply about the constitution, i just thought it was unreal to see it. 


anyways, it was perfect end to the trip. i'm happy to have visited the national archives last, that's for sure. 

i might do something fun before my flight tomorrow, but who knows!

bye, my friends.
