Today's Adventures

Today I woke up early to make a trip to Target and get some things I needed especially since I couldn't bring a lot from California. So to get there my friend Amy and I walked to the Eastern Market Metro station and then switched to a different line to get to Target.

This Target is on two floors and even has an escaltor for the carts. I had never seen this before and it was crazy cool! I bought about 70 dollars worth of stuff at Target. I even bought a 2 liter Coke bottle and it was so hard to carry back home. This was bad because I had a plastic bag. And Washington, D.C. is now charging 5 cents per plastic bag. I tried buying canvas/reusable bag but Target didn't have any more.

So after that my WJC group and I had to finish our scavenger hunt. We had to go to three more places. The first we went to was the Pope John Paul II cultural center. It took us a long time to get here even though we cut through The Catholic University of America.

One of the exhibits was a big collection of nativity sets. Here are some I thought were cool:



This one is from Mexico:



This one is from Poland:



Here's one that just looked really pretty:



And the grand finale is one from the Vatican:



After this place we headed over to the Gravelly Point Park. This is where airplanes fly by really close to people. It's because the Reagan airport is a few yards away. I don't have any pictures of this because it was really dark and I was super tired. But it was cool to see a plane so close. :)

This is a picture of the Capitol at night. It's really inspiring to be here:
