Sightseeing with the President

Once upon a time, not so long ago, we took an Amtrak train from Clifton Forge, VA to Washington DC which is 100x times more comfortable than airplanesUpon arrival, I was immediately greeted by the President himselfHe took us to the Dupont Circle Stationwhich has the steepest and most frightening escalators I have ever seen!to ride DC's world-class underground subway called the Metro (which is 100 x times better than New York's rat-infested, saliva-laden equivalent)First, we went to the National Mall, where i discovered that all those months of tray-lifting had done wonderful things to my arms! we walked beside a beautiful lake, where we could see the Jefferson Memorial from a distance

then we went to the Washington Monument, but gasp! the sky was getting dark and scary.... so, we took shelter by going to the top of the monument, where we enjoyed the view of the Washington skyline from above...
the White House was visible from here, and the President suddenly remembered that he forgot to feed his dog before he left the house!so, off we went to the White House....we went down the elevator of the monument and walked...and walked...and walked...and walked....gosh, how far is it? It could not have been that far...it didn't look taattt far when we were at the top of Washington Monument!

oh wait...there it is. I almost couldn't recognized it because the President wanted to go in from the back... but there's some sort of demonstration from people with black sacks over their faces..the President can make such bad decisions sometimesand that's not all, the President forgot his keys!! I thought we were going to be locked out but luckily, his hungry dog came and fetched him the keys..so, tat night before I go to sleep, I gave him a big kiss on his doggie face :)The next day, we went to the National Museum of Natural History on the National Mall, well where else, in the Nation's Capital of coz...we saw a huge elephant at the entrance, and some dinosaurs... and a few ancient people drawing a fat-looking horse on the wall of the museum..Next, we went to the National Air and Space Museum and boy...was it crowded...but nobody recognized the President in his disguise of coz..
we looked at various types of aeroplanes hanging from the ceiling.. and witnessed astronauts doing their thing...
We stopped by the National Gallery of Art, where we walked through a really cool-looking ceiling..and the National Portrait Gallery, because the President wanted to check out a new portrait of him there..
Finally, when night time falls, we walked to the Lincoln Memorial and paid homage to the statue of the 16th President of the US...the Memorial was one of the grandest places I have ever been too...it's so amazing...and magical..


fuwah wah wahhh yawnnn......after a long day of sightseeing, it's time to call it a day! We went back to the White House and had a good night sleep..

The best is yet to come, they say....

Mana tau, the next day, the President had his hands full chasing wild squirrels away in his garden so he asked us to walk back to the train station ourselves...

What to do...so we walked lo..

And it was not so bad, because there's a lot to see in DC just by walking..

We walked by some statues (there's lotss of these here)

and some castle...nothing unusual..haha..and at last we reached Union Station, where we took a train back to good ol' Hot Springs
but not before taking a group picture of us 4 young travellers!That's all. Hope you enjoy the story of our amazing Washington trip! hehe :-)
