The Archives-Navy Memorial

Well, yesterday....we rode the metro to Archives-Navy Memorial. We visited the National Archives and the NGA Sculpture Garden. They were both pretty amazing. Although the National Archives had like a 45 minute wait, but it was totally worth it because you get to see the REALLLLL Declaration of Independence. Isn't that Amazing!!!
Well, I had fun, and we ate at this like fountain, it was soo beautiful and fun.
After that we looked around in the NGA Sculpture Garden, there were so many cool Sculptures I saw, it was really amazing.

Yep, we learned about the history of all of the buidings, I think. but it was really cool, and all of the buildings were really beautiful.

The Capitol.............!watev...

Yesterday, we went to the The Capitol....It was very informative! and still fun.....
When told about the The Capitol's history, I was amazed. It was super interesting. The buiding was finished about 1798 or the 1800s'. The dome on the The Capitol is amazing....it took like 6 months to be finished. Pretty Amazing, Huh????
Anyway, on our trip, we saw the House of Representatives debating about a law....It was pretty boring too me and pretty much everyone else. But still cool.....
We also saw the Library....It was known to be the largest library in the U.S. In the library were books about the laws and stuff.....pretty informative..huh??????????
Well, I had fun and it was really informative....but it was still interesting....

Arlington Cemetary...........!!!??

Yesterday, I went to Arlington Cemetary in Washington D.C. It was very informative but still fun.
We rode the metro which was awesome!!!!!! We first went to the JFK Graveyard; it was amazing. There were like 1 million graves, it was really cool!
Second was the Arlington House. It was Huge!!!!!! I have never seen anything like it. It was beautiful. The graveyard was like close to the house which was he was burried. He was the one with a white cross.
Next was the Tomb of the Unknown. It was really cool. From my memory, it was when there were soldiers that were burried but they didn't know who the soldiers were. There were these guards guarding the tomb, and the guard guarding would switch with a different guard. It was really COooooooooooolllllllllllllllllllllllll.......................!
yea......it was fun, but oooper hot.....

The Old Town Tour!!....7/6/09....

The Old Town Tour!!....

On our tour, my partners and I noticed many interesting and fun facts about Old Town. It's history amazes me and it may even be mind-bottling sometimes.

First we saw the library on Queen and Columbus Street. The Alexandria Library is in a peaceful environment and relaxing to some. It is near townhomes and hovering trees in some areas.

Second, we saw the Christ Church and the cemetery behind the church. My partners and I noticed that not all of the gravestones were in there appropriate place or they were broken. This was due to the Civil Troop Soldiers abusing them.

We next visited Lord Fairfax's House. He lived in a super nice house with lots of space. Fairfax County was named after him.

Next, we saw George Washington's business house in Mount Vernon where he did his work. Apart from his worklife was his family. He and his family lived in a different house. A long time ago, it would take him a day's trip to get home from his business house, now it would take about 15 minutes. Fifth, we went to an Ice Well on the Corner of Cameron and Royal Street. Before the freezer was invented, people had to freeze ice the old fashioned in Alexandria. They would have to go to the Potomac River in the winter, get huge chunks of ice, put it in the ice cellar and cover it in hay. They would keep it down there until the summer to put in there drinks or they would use it for meats.

Lastly, there was Gadspy's Tavern. 1785 tavern and 1792 city hotel. It is located on the corner of Cameron and Royal Street as well. A tavern was a place where you could sleep and eat(hotel and/or inn). Men were only allowed there but women were allowed in the dance rooms with the men. One fact that my partners and I found disturbing was that the men would room with other men they didn't know and/or share the same bed. Pretty Grody, Rite??

In Old Town, there are many places you can visit and learn about its history while still having fun; such as Gadspy's Tavern Museum, George Washington's business home, Christ Church, the Alexandria Library, Lord Fairfax's Home, and many other buildings. Also, if you get hungry along the way you can stop for some ice cream or even out to eat. Trust me, the restaurants and ice cream is amazing. You can also shop there, they have some rockin clothes.....

OMG dude Rockers!!!!
