Washington, DC

I haven't journaled in like a week! Well, it was because I was on a school field trip to go to Washington, DC. It was so amazing, and I just returned last night. First of all, when we went there by bus, it was great, I talked to all of my friends, played video games, ate some great food, and had a decent seat. On the first day, we went to Arlington Cemetery, which was a little gloomy, but I enjoyed it. The hotel rooms were a little bit better than motel rooms, in my opinion, so it wasn't the greatest rooms, but I still carried on with it. We went to a lot of food courts in malls, and they were good fast food, and we got a lot of food because we had $15 in our till cards. We visited other monuments, buildings, and memorials over the 4 days, and I think my favorite one was the Washington Monument, because it was so tall and I had a lot of cool pictures and moments at that place. I am back in NC now, so I will be continuing to go to TKD and still practice. I am excited for the Tea Ceremony too.
