DC trip- part two

Date: 10.07
Weather: cloudy and shower
Tempature: it migh be 55F
Journey: We woke up around 12 p.m. We decided to go to the outlet shopping mall because the weather is not well. I was freezing soI bought a puffer coat. I though it could be used for tomorrow.Great! We left there around 8 p.m. After we went home, we watched "The United 93" . It is a solemn movie. The people who on the plane was so brave and honor. I admire them.
Date: 10.08
Weather: sunshine
Tempature: 65F, noon might be 75F
Journey: We also woke up around 12 p.m. It seem my puffer coat can't work.First, they took me to Georgetown University where she and her boyfriend are studying now. We walked to school from her apartment. Suddenly, I realized I was in Virgina. There is a potomac river between DC and Virgina. Cool!! I got a lesson. Georgetown University was so beauiful and historical. It even has a cemetery at University. That sounds a little odd but kind of cool. Then we went to the M street which it is the most busy street. We can't change our shopping nature. We were shopping again. I must be out of my mind. I came DC to shop, and it has tax on clothes. We spent all afternoon on shopping. They said: " It was time to go the National Mall. My friend told me there are gorgeous at night. " Yes, they were right. The Washington Monument was lighted up. The Lincoln Memorial was so solemn. My friend bought the signal len carmera. That was really amazing. The picture looked like a postcard. See---------->

Date: 10.09

Weather: Sunshine

Tempature: 58F~72F

Journey: It was my last day in DC. We stiil woke up at 12 a.m. Correctly, I just had few hours because my bus was 5:45 p.m. We went to National mall again. There are many musuem can visit. We chose the National Gallery. They said, "You can't compare it to The Metropolitan Museum of Art. The Metropolitan is the best." Yet, I had never been to the Metropolitan. I wanted to go the White House but we ran out of time. On our way to subway, We saw the National Archives. It is a scene of the film "National Treasure". That was so surprised. I bought a copy of the Declaration of Independence like Nicolas Cage did in the film.
I have to go to DC again. There are many visiting spot I missed such as White House the most important one, the Pentegon, the Jefferson Momerial, the zoo where has pandas...etc. I think the best time will be next April because it will be cherry blossoms season.

That's great! I'm so glad you took the initiative to get out and do something completely different. DC is a wonderful place.
