A visit to the Capitol

Last Saturday I traveled to Washington DC to 1) visit my Dad I hardly ever get to see 2) See some sites 3) begin the trip of a lifetime to Key Largo, Florida to go on a Biology trip.

So the morning started with a blast with Mom screaming about how we need to leave and how there might be a plane of 200 kids leaving at the same time which was 6:00 in the morning. Of course I procrastinated till the last second to pack all my crap and probably forgot things that I maybe should have brought with me.  However all I care about is I brought like 7 bathing suits, my dive card, log book, of course some other clothes, and floopy no doubt. However recently Floopy sustained some injuries due to Ziggy. 

To start we landed at like 8 in the morning in DC. Dad picked us up and took us to his humble abode and we ate a good breakfast and then fell asleep on the couch.  Then waking up went to see HARRY POTTER oh yea!! Before the Potter we ate at this awesome yummy place. Then after Potter we went and walked all over DC. Saw the white house looked at other monuemnts and had some good fashioned walking UGH!!

The next day I opted to wake up and do BODY PUMP. Which really pumped my body and am still sore at this moment. Then after that we went and looked at more monuments. Ate some good food at home.

On Tuesday Abeth and I went out to the Smithsonian after Dad was food poisoned from the crappiest eatery I have ever ate at. We hit up the Smithsonian Zoo first which was a bust. Still to date the Nebraska Zoo is the best. Thier desert dome is a must see. If you go to Nebraska for anything the Zoo is a must see as well as if you are into Baseball a College World Series game is a must as well.  Then we found our way to a frozen yougart joint to help with the heat overload. After picking out our yummies Abeth choose Cookies and Cream and I got Mango and Vanilla with white chocolate chips. Walking down to the Metro which Dad stated was right across from the Zoo entrance which in actuallity turned out to be 3 blocks down we went underground to the Metro. Now unlike the Metros in France which are a little bit more confusing plus the whole other lanuage barrier added these were kind of friendly. A nice man helped us out getting our tickets to the Smithsonian who later told me I had a beautiful gown on. Then after changing trains we got off at our stop and started our adventrue through the Smithsonian Musems!

Walking up out of the underworld I was of course spotted by peadlers who needed money for the homeless. As the man tried to barter us a map then paid him 2 dollars he said "Thanks miss Kitty" becuase of My Black Kitty Cat knecklace that Cory got me. Anyways the museums were okay I kind of expected a little more out of them. I guess after seeing Night at the Museum nothing can compare. lol

So this morning we woke up and are now headed to Key Largo. I am so excited it is going to be awesome. Actually I am writing this from the Charleston Airport. I thought I would share the excitment and try to update you guys if anyone is reading about what has been going on this time in my life. Unfourtuantly I haven't updated about our adventure to Montana at the end of June. So maybe I can get those up as well. Need to Blog.

Well I will try to update as much as possible. Friday I begin the 24 hours under the water. SO PUMPED.
