DC in the rain!!

Well we went to DC on a school field trip. Let's just say we started off making memories. We all arrived at the school at proper time. We waited on some of the other students to show up to find out, oh yeah they aren't going. That put us about 30 minutes late. OK, we are off and running, Mrs Warriner leading, then my car, then the school van, then Mr Payne's vehicle. Down comes the rain, and Oh I have to go to the bathroom. So we stop, what an adventure. We pull out from that stop just to wait on the school van that will not start. We pull back into the station and Mrs Warriner uses her van to jump it. And, we are off again. We finally get to the metro and get on!! Woohoo. We love riding the metro. We get to DC and get off to go to the Museum of Natural History. As we are getting off the metro, you can hear a bunch of truck horns just a blowing. What in the world? Truckers from all over met in DC yesterday to protest the gas prices.We were there to experience it all! The rain is coming down pretty good now and we are all pretty wet. We get to tour the museum and off to the metro we go again. We head to union station to eat lunch and head off to the capitol. As, we are heading to the capitol we get soaked once again, but as Mrs Warriner kept saying: Making memories! When we arrive at the capitol, the truckers have made it there to hold their press conference. Um where do you think I want to be? That's right, with the press conference where everything was happening. I didn't stay there I went on with on our tour. We learned about the paintings and architectural of the capitol. The most interesting is the painting in the rotunda, was done by different men. One man got fired from the painting, but before he left he painted his face in a tree. Pretty cool.
All in all was a fun filled day. Thanks Mr and Mrs Warriner for letting me tag along!
