Washington DC visit.

So, yesterday we piled on a bus to go see Washington DC. We started with the big yellow school bus that DC (Dr C) wanted her picture taken with, along with half the students, and once the fascination was over, we moved onto the main part of the day.

We started with the holocaust museum, which was a sad and shocking reminder to the millions that died in World War 2, and was a memorial along with a museum, and I personally felt it was an excellent tribute to those who died.

After the Holocaust Museum, we took a walk in the snow to the Capitol building, buying some food from a street vendor on the way. I gave the dude 5 dollars for mine, and the idiot gave me 5 dollars change. What a loser :P

Outside the Capitol, the girls shrieked a bit as they threw their 25 dollar perfume into the trash, and we all passed through a metal detector before we could get in. Even though I had forgotten to take my dog tags off for the holocaust museum, I promptly forgot to take them off again, so had to remove my belt and shoes... pain in the butt.

Once inside, we entered a theatre and watched a movie that slated the evil british people :P and that DC spent a good 5 minutes afterwards criticising about getting the womens vote date wrong... the film itself was 13 minutes

We had a lovely tour, and I've included some pictures below. Next post will be our first day at high school and a Gar Field Basketball match!
