On June 22, I left on a United Airlines airplane to Washington Dulles Airport. The 
plane ride was uneventful, but fun because I was travelling with my three friends. We reached the airport at about 4:30 p.m. Two P2P people picked us up and took us to the hotel on a bus. We reached the hotel at about 6:00 and put our bags in the room. It was an awesome room because the hotel was Hyatt. We then had dinner and listened to the guest speaker Kenneth Walsh. He has been the Chief White House correspondent since 1986. The day had been stressful, so me and my two roommates (Nikhil and Cameron) retired early, about 11:00 pm.

On June 23, we went to a whole bunch of places. We first went to the Library of Congress. We saw the many artifacts they had there. Next we saw the Capitol Building. Unfortunately we didn't have time to tour it. Finally we went to the Supreme Court. There we had a tour. After that we were so hungry we could eat a horse. So we ate sandwiches at Union Station. We then went to the Holocaust Museum where that sad shooting took place. After that we spent some time in the Newseum or the Museum of Journalism and Interactive Arts. There we watched an amazing 4-d movie and we explored the exhibits. We finally went to the FDR memorial. It was an amazing display of water, rocks and other landscaping elements. At the end of the day we went to Ethiopia! or the Ethiopian embassy. We had an awesome dinner and we listened to the Ethiopian ambassador. We returned to the hotel and crashed into the bed after a hard day of walking.
On June 24 we woke up early and went to the U.S. Capitol building for a tour. It was breathtaking to see the statues and the murals. After that we had lunch at the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum. This was probably the best stop in the whole trip. There were so many exhibits and wondrous recreations of space rockets and airplanes. We then went to the sad Arlington Cemetery. At the end of the day we went to a steakhouse for dinner. When we reached the hotel we just went straight to bed.
On June 25 we went to Gettysburg National Park. It was a long two hour ride on the bus. We learned about the civil war and saw the many memorials that were around the park.We had lunch at the Dobin's House in Gettysburg. It is the oldest house in Gettysburg. We also did some shopping here where I got a replica of the canon. We then went to the Eisenhower Farm to learn about President Eisenhower and his family. Dinner was at General Pickett's, a fancy restaurant, and went on the long journey back to the hotel. 
On June 26, we woke up early to go to the Spy Museum. It was an interesting place where we learned about spies and the history of espionage. We then saw the WWII memorial,Korean war memorial, and the Vietnam memorial. We went to lunch at the Ronald Reagan building. After that we went to the National Museum of Natural History. We ended our day at the Jefferson Memorial and dinner.
Early on June 27 we left for the airport. We boarded the plane anxious ( cough, cough) to see our parents. The plane was uneventful and we finally reached at 11:00. Home Sweet Home.
