We are Finally here!

January 16, 2009

Welcome to everyone who will read about my experiences here in Washington, DC!

Today was long, but exciting! I woke up at 3:15 am in the morning with a nervous cramp in my leg.  When I woke, I was jumping in my skin because I was so anxious. All I was thinking was how I would feel once I got to the other side of the country. I always wondered how cold it would be here because everyone told me I would freeze in DC! I said that I could deal with it to everybody before I left, but I was wrong.

I am so glad that Virgin America sponsored our trip, because I have never seen any other planes with all the fun activities you can do while flying. My six hour flight was very time consuming, but my time was filled with entertainment.  I plan to do lots of homework on the flight back to LA. 

When the plane had just landed and they opened the door, I was rushing to put on all my jackets that I had put away when I got on the plane.  As soon as they opened the door to the plane, freezing air came rushing in!

I was surprised that the public transportation was so calm and peaceful. I had a great time on the Metro bus because we were like celebrities; everyone wanted to talk to us. Then once we got off the bus, we waited for the Metro train and we loved it. All of us thought that they would be dirty and busy but they were very calm and quite. We all loved how we had to rush on the Metro because you only have about 45 seconds to get on before the doors close and we have 16 people with us, all with heavy luggage.

Now we are at the house I am stuffed, and ready for all that will come my way for the rest of the trip!

Please visit tomorrow and subscribe to my blog.  Tomorrow we get a private tour of Georgetown University and the US Capital.
