Journal #39

I had a really fun spring break this year! My mom, my Aunt Chris, and myself drove to Washington D.C. on Good Friday to visit my Uncle Chris and his wife Marissa. We saw all of the sights, like the monuments, and went to several of the museums. I had been to DC before several years ago, so we only went to the museums that we have not seen or that we wanted to see again. We went to the Museum of Natural History, the Museum of American History, the Native American Museum, the Newseum, and the Holocaust Museum. My uncle took us to several cool restaurants while we were there also. We saw the Lincoln, Washington, and Jefferson monuments. We also saw the Korean, WWII, and Vietnam memorials. I really enjoyed walking around seeing the monuments; it is really pretty in DC wit all the cherry blossoms trees blooming. We stayed there until Thursday, when we drove home. I wrote my entire The Jungle essay in the car on the way to DC so after I drove my shift on the way home I slept for several hours. On Friday I went out to lunch with Katie and then helped Jenni babysit her cousins the rest of the afternoon. Then I went to Kathleen's and saw her after dinner. On Saturday I worked on a huge amount of my AP Chemistry homework with Andrew. After I went to my friends, Will and John's house where a whole bunch us of got together and watched Doctor Who. Sunday, I went to church and then out to lunch at Sonic with my friends. Then we met some more friends and went to Washington park for the afternoon. Sunday night I went to my youth group and we had our Great Trade Up, which my team won! We got a Starbucks gift card! I had a great Spring Break! I learned a lot and saw a lot of my friends in the three days I was home!
