11-8-09

Shawnie: The second day we were there we got settled
we ride a bus To the temple and we walked the grounds.

Sari: Today was the first day in our trip. We arrived last night at 1:30 a.m. in our hotel after a three and a half hour plane trip to Baltimore¸ and after a one and a half hour wait, we got on our shuttle. We got to our hotel thirty minutes later. That morning we were very slow getting out. We eventually left our hotel at lunch time and I got to have my first Metro ride. We had to walk a little farther than we planned to get to the shuttle, because the elevators to our platform were down so my sister couldn’t get down there. We finally got there. We rode the metro to union station and grabbed lunch. After that we got on the metro again and we rode it to Silver Springs. At Silver Springs we got on a bus and rode it for an hour. The bus dropped us off on a long winding road that had no side walk. We then proceeded to get ourselves very much lost. We ended up walking twice as far as we were supposed to. We finally arrived at the Washington DC temple. After we saw that we then reversed our trip back to the metro center. We then had to board a different sub and went to Arlington Cemetery which was closed. We then had to wait for a sub back to the center. We finally went and got Chinese, went to our hotel and fell asleep.
