Howdy do, here we are, another day and another adventure in D.C. My feet are killing me because we basically walked all over the whole entire city in a matter of 8 hours. It started with the holocaust museum which we have to go back to tomorrow and see because you need tickets to see the most important floors but we didn't get there in time. So we saw one floor and the one pic I took which I didn't know I wasn't supposed to take (as I was informed after) was this one. Adrianne and I kept on gawking at the various signs that showed how Nazi propaganda spread during the hard economic times of the great depression coupled with the promise of "change" and emotionally charged logos involving simple phrases. This part of the museum showed over again how the perfect combination of this campaign strategy and poor economic circumstances laid the foundation for something completely unimaginable. This was one of Hitler's ads, I thought this was interesting...
Ok back up, first Ado (Adrianne) and I started off before Morgan and Ashley because we wanted to go to the park and do some reading before hitting the museum. The metro here is amazing, so we decided to share some pics with everyone of course. When the announcements are being made over the big speakers, there is this girl our age whose recording sounds super friendly. Morgan and I want to find her and make her our friend.
When we got off the metro we just so happened to pull up right next to this place, which isn't terribly interesting
Ado and I read our American history in the park in front of the Washington memorial for a bit
Anyways, then we went to the National Archives because after memorial day it's just havoc trying to see anything since the tourists swarm in like the world is going to end tomorrow. We only had to wait for like and hour and a half but the line just grew and grew and we became more and more bored
We finally got in and this is some of what we saw. It was amazing!!!
Busy at work
Georgetown is a fantastic place. Tons of shopping and the location and setup is really cool
The Potamic river. It was really pretty! And just down the street from Georgetown University.
...and we ended up in northern Virginia!!!
Well there you have it, a full exhausting day. Now I'm off to bed, I have church in the morning and my feet are killin me. Hasta laters!!!
I so wish I was there! I think I would cry the whole time in amazement!
