Rewind

I thought I should post up some pictures of what I've done the past couple of weeks.

These are in chronological order.



This was at CPAC. I thought I would never be able to go to something like this, despite my own political views, but it was a great experience. I got to see Glenn Beck from afar, almost brushed shoulders with Newt Gingrich and was suprised at all the young people in attendace.





This is my friends and I outside the National Archives. We saw the original Declaration of Independence, Bill of Rights and Constitution. This was a pretty exciting day. After, we had lunch at Olley Trolley and later went to the National Museum of Natural History.



This was inside the Washington Monument. It was great to be able to go inside and see the view from that high.



This is me at the zoo. I like triceratops, they are my favorite kind of dinosaur. We didn't really have a good time here because most of the animals were put inside their homes. It was a cold day and the zoo visiting hours were almost up. We are going to try and go again before the semester is over.



California girls in D.C. Amy (l) is from Biola University, Alaina (middle) is from Azusa Pacific University and I represent California Baptist University. We are all Cali girls and found a great friendship between us!



A reporter from The Washington Post gave us a tour of his newsroom. It's pretty big, but with few reporters inside.



This is the WJC Spring 2010 group at the Newseum, in the studio where "This Week" is filmed. I was so excited to be here because I love the show, even though George Stephanopoulous won't be on anymore.



A tour of the Capitol was one of the things that I had wanted to do for the longest time and here we are inside the Rotunda. We even got to go inside the House gallery. This was before the historic health care vote got passed on Sunday. We went on Saturday. There were people protesting, Tea Partiers and even immigration rally marchers!



And finally one of me at the Cherry Blossom Festival. We went the day it started, Saturday March 27 and we were greeted by hundreds (if not thousands) of tourists. This isn't going to be fun trying to get on the Metro with all these new people. We walked from the National Mall back the apartment, but stopped at La Loma for dinner.

This has been a quick summary of how I've spent my time here in D.C.

Only a few more weeks left of living here and I'm going try to do some more things!
