Washington day 2

Today we got a taxi to the Capital building, then we walked around the National Air and Space Museum. For lunch we went to the Hard Rock Cafe and James and I bought our pin heads for our hats.

After lunch we split up and James and I went to the American History museum and ma and pa went to the National Gallery.

That was enough for one day, taxi!

Monuments, Memorials and Movie Sets

After breakfast, we walked to the White House in the sunshine.

We took lots of photos at the front then made our way to the back. We spoke to a White House employee who told us to hang around as Marine 1 would be landing soon to take the president away. We were so excited!

 After the excitement of seeing the helicopter, all the snipers on the roof and secret servicemen on their walkie-talkies hovering around we made our way to the monuments and memorials.

At about 3pm we decided we had had enough so we got a cab back to the hotel and passed out!

On the way to Washington DC

Yesterday was a stressful but exciting day because we were going by train to Washington DC.

The seats we got on the train were amazing, they had reclining chairs. We were sorted for the journey to DC. I just put my feet up and watched Sherlock Holmes. 

 

When we got to our destination we all had a little nap, went for a swim and then went to call on Obama! But he couldn't come out to play.
