Tom and I went to DC for a little get away… we were only there for three days. On sunday we flew into Reagan National Airport, we met my cousin Erik and his wife Payal there. Then we started sight seeing.. we started out with the Smithsonian. We didn’t get to see all of the museums… but we did get to see the American History, Natural History and Air and Space museums. At the air and space museum, we saw a short movie called Fighter Pilot in the Imax theater. That was pretty cool, it made me a bit dizzy. It was my first time in an Imax.
From there we went to the Washington Monument, Lincoln Memorial, WWII and Vietnam Memorials. That was enough sight seeing for the day, so went back to Erik and Payal’s for the night.
On Monday, Payal, Tom and I went to the Arlington Cemetery.. we went to the JFK gravesite and to the Tomb of Unknown Soldiers to see the changing of the guard. We had some trouble getting there, because we missed our exit. We were trying to find our way back when we saw a cop. We decided to stop for directions, which were very detailed.
After that we went to Tyson mall, so I could get a dress for Aaron’s wedding. Tom wasn’t too happy about that but it didn’t take too long. I ended up getting 2 dresses.. I couldn’t decided between the two. We went out for dinner that night and did some shoe shopping.
I had to get shoes to go with the dress.
Tuesday morning Payal gave us a ride to our meeting place with Adam. Adam took us to the Baltimore Aquarium.. we saw a short 4d movie there. Our seats vibrated, we got poked in the back and sprayed with water. I jumped a lot.. it was fun! We also saw a dolphin show there.. it was okay.? They did a lot of talking about polution .. I would have liked it better if there was more of the dolphins. After that we went to see the Star Trek movie, I thought it was good!
Finally it was time for dinner! Tom was waiting for this moment, because we were going to get all you can eat blue crabs. The first place we went to was Gunnings, but they were all out of Crab! We decided to go some where else instead, but it wasn’t all you can eat. I tried eating a crab, but I just couldn’t eat something that was looking back at me. Tom started playing with his food, so we had to get it on camera. After eating, we went to the hotel for the night.
Wednesday morning we flew back home, with no problems! On our way to DC we were delayed out of Msp! (Tom was not happy. He hates Msp airport now) We had to swap aircraft, so we ended up being to hours late.
