washington dc

today i went to washington dc. i had to wake up at 4 30 in the morning because it was a 4 hour ride to dc. i slept through the whole trip there. we stopped at a mcdonalds in maryland. the feel maryland gave you was indeed different from the one new york or california gave you. i slept some more and we finally arrived to dc. when i got out of the car i thought i was going to freeze to death. shoot. if i had stood there for 1 hour, i would have frost bite and died. foreals.

upon our arrival to dc, i was amazed to see that dc was nothing like i imagined. i watched countless of movies portraying a fabulous side of dc that i really thought as majestic, since you know... the president is there and everything, but nahhh. it was nothing like that. i suppose you could say it was aite and decent place to go to. there is not many places to see.

we took pictures with lincoln and jefferson. i also took pics at the white house. the white house is huge. ginormous. mansionistic. to end our trip, we ended it at capitol hill. when i arrived at jefferson's memorial, i seriously thought that they filmed forrest gump there, and i was like, dude this looks nothing like the part in the movie. but i soon realized that i was wrong. the part was filmed in front of lincoln's memorial. dang there was some beautiful view to the washington monument. for some silly reason, i imagined that scene in forest gump, where the protestors were doing a rally, and had war veterans talk about the war infront of thousands of people. and then there was that part where forest gump comes up and speaks, but no one can hear him because someone unplugged the mic. at the end of his speech, jinny or jenny comes running across the water to see forest. and so they got reunited. for a short time.

after the end of the tour, we went to eat at a korean restaurant in virginia, because my dad and my mom had to meet with their good friend, who they had previously met in chile. we had a short meeting and left back to new york. again. i slept the whole ride up.

i ate at my uncle's restaurant. it was pretty good. i had quesadillas and mini hamburgers.

then went to my aunt's house in new jersey. and babysat for the rest of the night because all the aunts and uncles and parents went to drink.

dang my grandma got hella old. she can't walk anymore. and she is not as energetic as before because before, she used to scold me left and right. for some reason i think its good, but on the other hand, i also feel bad.

had a pretty good day overall.
