the one with american history, a much newer subject than I have become accustomed to

The past two days my family and I have been touring Virginia and Washington DC. Yesterday we went to UVA, I figured I should see the school that I just finished attending. It was a really nice campus, but much different (read: less green aka worse) then the UO. I did go to Pi Phi there and that was fun, I just walked up and knocked on the front door, the house mom came and gave me a little tour. Only 18 of the 140 girls live in the house but it was pretty cute, very much like our house. Then we went to Monticello, Thomas Jefferson's house. It was beautiful, and I really liked both the house and the grounds surrounding it. For lunch (at 5pm) we had taco bell! OMG I missed taco bell and its disgusting deliciousness. haha. We then drove up to DC and found our hotel. I was beat at this point, but the family wanted to go see the monuments. So we drove around DC until about midnight when we finally had dinner and came back to the hotel. 

Today we took the metro to downtown DC and spent most of the day in the American History museum. I loved it, there were so many things there and it was really nicely put together. We spent about 4 hours there finishing with a tour of Julia Child's Kitchen! Thats one thing I cant wait to get home to do, cook! As I told my grandma, I am having wisk with drawls! After that we went to the National Archives to see all the important documents in the world. :] That was cool, I think it would be so much fin to be a archivist and go through old documents! Justin then lead us with its cool phone app to a restaurant recommended to me called the Dubliner, well thank you Hanna! It was wonderful!!! I am still stuffed from my chicken pot pie that I only ate half of! Were back at our hotel now, and tomorrow were off to williamsburg, and I might even get to go shopping! Yay America!
