Sorry I didn't write last night, we forgot to ask for the password to the internet before the cousins went to bed.
We woke up pretty early and drove to Colonial Williamsburg, where we had a lot of fun experiencing the colonial Virginia. We toured the Palace and the Capitol building. We also visited the printing press and the wig maker.
After that we stopped at Sonic Drive-In for lunch then got caught in a ton of traffic. When we got to Arlington we had a lovely dinner at the house, then Lonnie drove us to the movie theaters and me and Leah watched Harry Potter 7 Part 2 in 3D. It was awesome, we had a really fun time, but by the time we got home it was almost 1 am, so we went to bed.
This morning (Day 11) when we woke up, we got ready for our day in Washington, D.C.! I've never been to D.C. before but Leah has, so I was really excited to see all. We started the morning at Lincoln Memorial and we made our way down to the Capitol. It was so much fun! We saw the memorials for the wars, and the Washington Memorial was huge! It was hot out, but we poked into Smithsonian Museums and the Archives before we got too over heated, and we kept hydrated. I really liked the Archives, there were a ton of really neat documents and exhibits to see. By then it was nearly 3 pm and we were super hungry, so we wandered off Capitol hill and found delicious pizza at We, The Pizza (I know, cute name!).
Looking at this I know I covered everything we did, but this isn't very long. I think it is because most of the past two days have been a lot of walking and soaking in the experiences. We did take a lot of pictures! So hopefully Leah will put those up soon.
