Washington DC expedition (By: Anna)

BLOG DRAFT

        We just got back from our Washington DC expedition. It was our last expedition of the semester! WOOHOO! It was super cool, and really fun!! I will be telling about some of the awesome things that we did, and some highlights that made everyone’s day.

        First we went backpacking on the Appalachian Trail! It was super cool. There was a shelter, and a picnic table. Graffiti filled the walls of the shelter, and made for a nice bedtime story(: We met a few hikers too! The first night we met Avalanche. He was super-duper awesome! The second night we met Jetpack Rachel, Caboose, Gramcracker, and tip and dip. It surely was amazing.

        After we hiked the AT, we moved on to Washington to a campground for about four days. It was really fun. We met a few people there too, however, I do not know exactly who they are…. ): We went to the Washington Monument, and ate lunch the first night. A few builders were fixing the Monument because it cracked during the Earth Quake. We also went to the World War II monument, and spent some time with Kilroy. Kilroy was a man with a big nose looking over a wall. Not literally of course, it was WWII graffiti drawn by soldiers. They would mark where they went so others would know whether or not it’s safe. After, we went to tour the Capital Building. It was gorgeous! Probably the best Architecture I have ever seen!

        Finally we earned our way into a hotel, with much hard work and communication we did it! YAY! We went to the Holocaust Museum, and saw some devastating stuff. But, we defiantly learned some pretty cool stuff. We had a great awesome time riding the metro too! IT WAS SO MUCH FUN!!!
