D.C. day 4 8:02 AM
Well it's our last day in Washington D.C. We get back home at about 7:00 PM I think. Julie has a headache now. The bus is REALLY quiet! Shawna and Kait let me and Julie sleep, but they never woke us up. Mr. Wenninger came in and told us to wake up. Kait was showered and dressed and Shawna was putting on knee-high socks. Honestly I have NO idea where we are going. Today won't be as long as yesterday at least. Yesterday took FOREVER.......10 miles...OW! IT was incredible though. Me and Julie didn't see creeper lady at least :]. The last stop yesterday was the Jefferson Memorial. I walked out with Julie, and saw an AMAZING view. There was water almost completly surrounding the memorial. and the Washington Monument was in the distance and it was lit up so it was reflecting on the water, so the water was all shiny. It was amazingly beautiful. Julie and I realized how much we missed Tyler and Ryan. When I saw that view, I wanted to be with Tyler so bad! I wish he could have seen it! Julie wants me to say "I HAVE A HEADACHE!"
6:39 PM
We went to Mount Vernon today. It was HUGE. Some of the rooms were just AMAZING. We got to see George Washington's grave. It belonged to him, Martha, and their family. Kait is ticking me off! I met someone today, her name is Elaine. Kati called me a freaking friend stealer because I started talking to her! It was ridiculous. Elaine said "Well you (Julie and I) acually came back here with me (back of the coach bus) She said 'No I have to stay up front.'" She has honestly been annoying me for the past two days. She sounds so serious, then she gets mad because you don't take it as a joke. Yesterday we were on teh bus and Hannah said "Shut up Kenny." then Kait opened her mouth! Everyone was perfectly happy, I told kait to calm down because she was starting a fight that didn't even need to happen. We were in D.C. there isn't supposed to be fighting on such an amazing trip! Then she thought I couldn't face her because we were on oppisite sides of our hotel room and she told me to "Shut the fck up". My suitcase was on the oppisite side and I was packing. And me and Shawna were switching beds because me and Julie wanted to be together (no matter HOW I put that, it sounds perverted LMAO!) Wow, why would I be scared of Kait? Anyways! We also went to the Smithsonian! I went to the National History Section. I was hangin with Jacob, Patrick, Robert, Ty and Elaine. Then it was just Ty and Elaine. When we were about done we stopped at a gift shop (Julie said Hello. Hotties?) and Elaine and Ty were in line and the person at the register was taking FOREVER! It was 2:58 and we were STILL waiting. We had to meet the group at 3...I had to run up to Mrs. Wenninger to let her know what was going on. BUT I couldn't find ANYONE. I saw Robert, Patrick and Jacob though. I told them to tell Mrs. Wenninger, they did and I waited by the entrance for Ty and Elaine. We were 3 mintues late. Jacob was kinda flirting a bit (I think). I doubted it though he said "I miss Amber" a lot. I thought it was sweet, he missed his girlfriend biggrin . Jordan and Chloe thought it was so cute when I told them about the Jefferson Memorial and when I said "I miss tyler." I've had an AMAZING four days. I've laughed so much so much with the guys and my girls. Ty and I, then Jacob and I have become really good friends! I honestly love Jacob's hair and eyes. Then Ty is just....wow! They are really cool people. This trip has been unforgetable. I've loved every second of it here! Now I'm on the plane (I have for a while). It's Patrick, me then Julie on the flight. Julie has the window seat. Everyone is excited to see us again. I can't wait to talk to Alex and Nix again. Then see Jordan, Magan and especially Tyler. I'm excited and sad. Well that was my Washington D.C. Trip, 2009.
