Shawnie: The third day we Had a tour of the capital and I got to see a statue of Helen Keller. We went to the library of Congress and then We walked around the capital fountain and I played with pigeons and there was a little pigeon that I thought it was cute. And my dad had to go to a meeting and my mom, sari and me went to pop bellies sub to take out and I had a pizza sandwich it was a really good Sandwich And we took it to our hotel and we had a movie night with treats.
Sari: Today we went and saw the capitol of our country. We got to see the reflecting pond, and got to walk all the way around it. I got to see many squirrels and sea gulls. Even in D.C. they have sea gulls! We got to stand on the exact place that Abraham Lincoln’s desk sat in the House of Representatives. We also got to hear how the whisper spot works. Today we also went and saw the place that George Washington was supposed to be buried. We then went and saw the statue of Helen Keller and see Lady Freedom. When we went to the capitol we also went and saw the mural on the ceiling. The mural is of George Washington with fifteen women sitting around him. There was one person for every colony and then there was a lady for freedom and one for liberty. We also got to go see the place that our House of Representatives debate.
We then went to the Library of Congress and we saw Thomas Jefferson’s library. We went and saw one of the twenty one reading rooms from up above. So many books! If my personal library was like that I would be one happy kid! I loved all the quotes on the walls. Each hall had a theme for the quotes and I thought that they were pretty cool. We then had to go to a gift shop for Shawnie. She had been very upset that we didn’t go to one in the Capitol. These things are the only reason she goes to places. I then had my picture taken out front of the International Spy Museum. We didn’t actually go inside but I love anything to do with spies so I got a picture.
After we left the capitol I got more pictures of squirrels and we started to head back. My dad had to head to his conference and Shawnie and I were hungry so we headed out to see what we could find. We decided on a pot belly sub shop. I got a Meatball Sandwich or as I call them A meat-a-ball sandwich. We then called it a day. We were tired, and sore. We all – excluding Dad – curled up on our couch and turned on a movie. We just relaxed for the rest of the night, and then we went to sleep.
