But I think she really liked that ride. And my other sister said she had a little bit of fun because she said she diid not have alot of fun because some of them were scarey for her. But we all had a really good time.

The sealing was almost the same as the Union Station but except that the Union station did not had pictures in the sealing. And the Capitol did. We had an awesome time. Then we went to the Postal Museam that's where we saw how people send the mail in old days. In 1971 post office deparment reorganized as the u.s postal service. going their was really cool because some of us got to get in a truck and acy like you are really driveing and it has all the things inside to drive like a real car. The last place we went was the Botanical Garden we first passed thought the Banana tree. Then we kept on walking and saw really smelly and colorful fowers I saw a purple one and I thought it was pretty. and then we smelled something that was in bottles and some of them smelled nesty but some of them smelled good. it was really fun looking at all the flowers. It was really fun going to all these three places I hope you have fun like we did.

Going to Kennedy center was a really nice field trip. I hope you have fun like we all did.

The Washington Monument

On July 10, 2009 We went to the Washington Monument. We stop on the outside of the White House and took pictures. Then we were all wondering why was the White House color white. Then Mr.Hammond told us that the only color that was cheep to color the White House was the color White. So that's why know it is called the White House. Then we went to the White House visiting center and we read alot of things of the White House it told us a lot of things about it. Then we went to the world war two memorial where their were all the states and we saw alot of stars we tried to count them but their were too much stars. Then we went to the place that their were alot of names in a wall. That place was really sad to see all those names in the wall alot of people died for helping our country.

The first part of the Capitol was built on September 8, 1983. The second part was built in 2009. And when we went inside the Capitol their were really nice paintings. And then we went inside a room where people were making the laws. It was really nice hearing them talk about the laws. when we were there we all saw a important woman pass by Nancy Pelosi.

Old Town Tour

Old Town has lots of town houses, trees, and many historic buildings and people. It has very historic things about it such as old town was there before the united states was even a country and how George Washington had a meeting house in old town that is still there.

On July 6, 2009 we went to the Alexandria public library it is located on the corner on Queen st. and N. Columbus st. It was quiet and peaceful because its not a busy street. All we heard was a dog barking and birds singing. When we looked around there was lots of town houses which are expensive because Old Town is a historic town.

Later that day we went to Christ Church which is located on Columbus Street. Christ Church was also there before the united states was a country. Back the old days the north took the south land which they ruined the Christ Church grave. They moved and took apart the grave stones and they tryed to fix it. Today, still dont know if the grave stones are with the right people.

We went to walking till we pasted the city hall, Alexandria fountain and the Visitors center. There was very amazing, cool looking , and interesting fun facts about Old Town Visitors center. I loved exporing Old Town today and we hope you come and see it so you can love it too.
