This morning I got up at 8. Early for me here. I got ready and we left the house around 9:30. We drove to Pentagon City, which is a mall, and got on the Metro from there. We got on the Metro and it was standing room only but as Grandma T. says "there's benefits of being old." She got a seat I stood, legs shoulder width apart, grasping the pole, grasping so hard that my hand was red when we got off. I had a nice conversation with the lady that I would have fallen on had the Metro stopped suddenly. We talked about nails, she liked my nails, and asked if they we're acrylics or gels, I told he
r acrylic, she asked if they lasted and I told her they did, she's gonna get some after her vacation. We got off at our normal spot the Smithsonian Station. We we're on the escalators coming up from the metro station and I feel rain drops. So I put my hood up and kept walking. We got to the top and asked the hot dog man where the White House was, he pointed us in the right direction and we were on our way. I took lots of pictures of the Washington Monument while walking to the White House. I almost got hit by a car...why? cuz I'm from California and pedestrians always have the right of way. yeah... it's not like that here. So we were walking and none of us could see the White House so we asked and she said we were going in the right direction.... whatta relief. So we get there and it's amazing. The police are all around. I saw Mrs. Obama's garden. It was very pretty. It was still drizzling at this point so we started to walk back to the Mall to see the Capitol Building. We stopped at the restrooms and they we're disgusting. We walked along and looked at all the vendors stopped and had a hot dog which was really good! We then walked to the "Rock Place" I found this lovely elephant (behind) for my moth
er! We then went and walked around the rocks and they're still beautiful. We we're done there and I went to the gift shop, bought stuff. We left and it was kinda rainy, we started walking and we realized we were going the wrong direction. So we turned around and headed for the Air and Space Museum the line to get through security was out the door but we made it inside and out of the rain. We went upstairs and I took pictures of a couple planes then we went back downstairs to the gift shop I looked around but there were a bunch of little kids so I left and found Grandma and Grandpa we then went outside and walked towards the center of the Mall so I could get a better look at the Capitol Building. We walked back to the other side of the street and found a sculpture garden that we had found by mistake last year. We walked through it and took pictures. Then we headed back to the Metro station and as I was getting off the escalator the ONE cute guy my age was going up the escalator I smiled at him :). We got on the Metro and luckily found seats. We got off at Pentagon City and I found a shop that sold souvenirs and bought some! We headed for the car paid for our parking and we FINALLY got to the car. I've never been that happy to see a car...EVER! We headed for home. We stopped at Giant to get Hamburger Buns for dinner, and I found otter pops! They were on sale! :) We got home around 4 and I headed straight upstairs to take my shoes off! I took my soggy sweatshirt off and I felt much better instantly! We relaxed I had a Dr.Pepper they had tea, Grandma made Hamburgers for dinner and now I'm blogging. I think we're all gonna take it easy tonight, I know I will! Tomorrow we're going to the PX and Commissary and then Costco for more tomatoes! Well that concludes my adventurous and exhausting day. Love you!
