Washington DC. ...And lostified.

CONTINUED FROM THE LAST POST

Alright! When I left off, I was about to go tourîzing! So heres what happened.

I woke up and It was ten 'o clock in the morning. The day before, I had planned to wake up at five so I could go swimming with the new mask I had wasted twenty dollars on (which is currently lost...and I haven't even worn it yet. -.-). But as you read three sentences ago, I woke up at ten, thus ruining my chance of swimming before it was time to tour Washington DC.
I didn't mind too much though, because I was eager to see all the sights and go to the top of the Washington Monument. So I got some clothes on (actually I am wearing the same outfit now...not that you care. =p) and my dad and I left the hotel to see it all. Firstly, we went to the subway station. First, we got on the train and rode to a place called Pentagon City (not actually a city..but you already knew that right?). On the way there, there were no spots left to sit down in....so I stood up. And that was the moment that I realized that standing up on buses and/or trains is one of the funnest things on earth. I played a game...and when your feet shifted you loose one point. If you almost fall you loose two points..and if you grab the handle bar thingy at the top of the train you loose three points. You have twenty two points to start out with.
Now that you know my little game that I invented©, I shall continue.
When the next train finally came after five minutes that seemed like five lifetimes, We got on the next train. But when we got on, my dad thought that it was the wrong train. So... he got off and when I tried to get off the door closed in my face. ...my awesome, blog-writing face. So the train went to the next place and I was kinda lost (I say kinda because I wasn't really that lost...just kinda. Or sorta...or any word that you use instead of sort of because it sounds cooler.).
My first thought was " Well this will give me something to write about..." Me second was " Well...I'm lost. might as well listen to my i-pod!" So that's what I did. And my third thought was "HUH?" For I had just heard that voice that we all know....the voice that says on your phone " If you would like to delete you message, press one. If you would like to hear your message in Spanish, press two. If you would like to delete your massage, press seven. " Also the annoying voice that says on most electronic devices " Low battery. Powering down. " Only this time the voice was saying " Mister Cool. Please report to the *********" . ...I didn't hear the rest. So I listened to it again. And again...and for about an hour, I listened to that voice, trying to make out the last part. I could not. So I decided to call my dad on the pay-phone (I didn't have my cellphone. ). ...But then I realized that I didn't know his number. So I called home on the pay-phone. My mom picked up the phone...and she freaked out. After she finished panicking, I told her that I needed my dad's number. But then....I noticed that I had nothing to write on (And I am extremely bad at remembering numbers.). But then I realized that I had my sister's camera with me, so I took a picture of my hand really up close so that the picture was black. After that I used the paint program on it to write down the number, and I said goodbye and hung up. After I got the number, I was going to call my dad with my last dollar. ...But I had stupidly turned off the camera without saving it (I can be such a dunce...). But right after I heard that annoying voice again and I heard it this time. It said something like " Mister Cool. Please report to the (something) Manager." So I went up to this little cubicle/box/shed thing that two police were in. They called my dad and pretty soon we were on our way again. We also found out that were I was was actually the place we were going anyways....so there was no need for my dad to get out in the first place. ...Oh, well. I like adventures, so I was coll with it. 6_6
After we got on top of the ground, (out of the subway place) we went to see the National Monument. I took some pics (That I will post on my blog), but we didn't get to go inside because no tickets were left. >.< So we decided to go to the World War Two Memorial. It was awesome and I got some cool pics there too! After that, we went to the Lincon Monument. It was really cool...but not as cool because there was some revolutionary guy giving a speech there...and then this weird-dressed woman came and sung this song. But It was still very awesome.
Afterwards, we traveled to the Vietnom Memorial. It was a V-shaped wall that had all the names of everyone who died in that wall. ....How did they do that? lol I guess with a WHOLE lot of work. After we scanned the wall for a while, we went to lunch. I heard a group of girls yelling DON'T GET THE PIZZA!! ...So I decided not to get the pizza. I instead got a hot-dog (YUMMY.).
After an awesomenesh lunch, we went to the spy museum! We did this thing called "operation spy". ...It said that it would be "the closest thing to spying you will ever get!" ...But I could get a more realistic spy operation at the park (Which I recently did...A LOT OF FUN! XD ...and they didn't even notice me!). The guy treated us like babies. He guided us through every...little...thing! He couldn't have been more annoying if he had carried us all... -.- After that, it was time to go back to the hotel. We went to the top of the hotel to a restaurant called Windows Over Washington. It was a very neat view and you could see everything from it!! Every single important site that you could see in Washington DC. you could see it form there. We ordered dessert (We already had eaten dinner) there. My dad ordered something called triple chocolate truffle tower, and....I don't remember what I ordered. ...Some coffee cheese cake thing smothered in chocolate. ...But whatever it was it was GOOD....
After we ate, we went to sleep, and the next day we went home...and I was greeted by fighting, chaos, and a huge hug from my mom. Yep....I was back alright... ...No doubt about it! ;)
