Washington D.C

So I recently when on a trip to Washington D.C. My hotel was right in the middle of Chinatown. I had so much fun. I was surprised about how much I learned. The buildings there were crazy! They were so big and the architecture of the buildings were amazing.

There are a few things I found extremely common in Washington D.C

1. Stairs/Escalators- There where so many!! Everywhere! In subways, museums, buildings, everywhere!

2. Monuments/ Museums- I felt like everywhere I went there was some kind of museum about it. I think there was also a monument or statue about every one too...

3. Security- In Washington D.C there was a bunch of security. I understand why but still there was a lot. Every museum or federal building you had to go through security. There were cameras everywhere.

4.Domes- This one is weird but true. In many buildings there are domes. In the capital, natural history museum etc..

Those are the things I picked out while I was there. I rode a subway/mobile/tube what ever you want to call it, for the first time. I'm from a small town in Ohio...so we don't have a subway. It was super cool. The engineering that went behind the subway must have been complex because after a 4 days of staying there I still couldn't figure it out. On some days while I was there it was cold, like in the 30-40s. In the subways underground it was warm? Is it heated? If it is that doesn't make any sense why, that would be a huge heating bill. The subway was fun. I felt bad because I took my time figuring out where I wanted to go and I felt like I was holding up lines so that made me feel bad. There was a crazy girl on the subway giving a speech and every other word was fuck.....(sorry for cussing). That was my worst experience on the subway.

All and all I had a great time at Washington D.C. I saw most of the town in about 4 days. I would recommend a little more time than that to see all of Washington D.C. I would also say bring a book to something for the hotel. Most attractions close at 5 so that leaves some time in the hotel.

 So my favorite movie is Forrest Gump so I tried to take a picture of where he was....it didn't turn out perfect, but I thought you would still like to see it.  

 This is inside the Capital. It is the dome of the capital. Pretty cool right?

This is the Washington monument. They are doing some construction to it and they haven't finished yet but it still looks cool.

 

These are just some of the places I saw.

 

 

Until Next Time
