The US Capitol building
Lincoln Memorial & location of famous 'I Have a Dream' Speech!
The Thai girls at the FDR Memorial...
Dinner and shopping in the neighborhood Georgetown
Finally!! we were at the capital city of the united states where the capitol is located,Washington D.C.
We left the hotel 3 minutes earlier than the appointed time! Yeah!!
First we got to take a ton of pictures at the Washington Monument and we went to the White House.
There was the funniest moment of the day when Mekana tried to go on the street to take a group picture of us but the security guard wouldn't let her to go on the street so she had to go across the street to take a picture of us. However she still snuck out and took a group picture of us on the street without any notice from the security guard! But she still couldn't get lose enough to avoid the fence.
Then we walked to the National Mall of museums, called the Smithsonian, ex: National Art Gallery and NAtional Air & Space Museum. Here we could choose where to go and learn some more about American ad world history. We went to the congress (Capitol building) and the Library of Congress too. We got to learn many things from a guide, Kara- she was wonderful. After this we started our way to the Lincoln Monument, it was awesome !! This was right next to the Vietnam War Memorial. It was so depressing. We saw our own reflection on a black granite wall of all the names of the dead and missing people from the war. We also stopped at the FDR Memorial, which is really pretty because there are many fountains and interesting statues, and there is a nice view of the Washington Monument.
Then it was time for shopping again!! Most of us went to H&M- they had a sale!! There was a lot of cheap stuff. We bought as much as we could (sorry mom and dad!). We were so excited. Later we went to Old Glory- a yummy barbeque restaurant, we loved it <3
It was a beautiful and sunny day and we loved to see the capitol city!
JUNE 14TH:
It's time to go to the beach!!!! Yay. Everybody came down to the lobby to have breakfast then leaving to Washington DC at 9 in the morning. We were so excited! Makena was talking in front of the bus about what we're gonna do today and telling us about funny story in the Hawaii trip last year. She always makes us laugh! We love her so much. We love Kristy and James too! :D We watched Back To The Future but some of us were sleeping. Then we stopped at a truck stop to buy some snacks and went to the restroom. And we stopped again to have lunch in Virginia. Some of us had Wendy's but some had Subway. Then we watched another movie called Juno while we were driving to North Corolina and South Corolina. And finally, we arrived at Myrtle Beach! It took around 8 hours to get here. After the long drive, we hung out in the hotel for a while then we went to Golden Corral for buffet dinner. It was so good! We love it! We also had swimming pool party at night! it was so much fun!
