How my life is now in D.C.

January 17, 2009

In the morning, at 6:40 AM I felt tremendously excited because it was my first time on a Virgin America flight.  I had heard a lot of good things about our trip, changes that I would go through while there and the anticipation was just hurting me to wait any longer.   But sure enough, we got on the plane quickly and swiftly.

 

Getting to my seat was the second best moment on the plane.  Time went on, my friend Kimberly sat in the same row as me.  The plane was fun because on the air craft, you could do more things than you could think of.  There is no way that any one, no matter how young or old could imagine all there is to do.

 

The number one most fun part besides all the games was when my friend Kimberly looked out of the window because the plane, as our altitude was lowering, she bumped her head on the window.  We had a lot of laughter on that flight.

 

I would like to thank Virgin America for paying for my teammates and I to have a free flight across the country.

 

7:00 PM at Mary's house we arrived after having just walked a mile in the cold Washington, D.C. weather my first time.  I'm sure that by tomorrow that I will be used to it. I cannot wait till tomorrow we are going to Georgetown University, the Air and Space Museum and the American holocaust museum, because History is Revolutionary (my extreme favorite subject). I hope to be a history major when I go to college.  Thank you for reading!
