Today was Thursday, and it was reallllly long ;)
haha there was food I could actually eat for breakfast today, besides oatmeal and eggs. There was hash browns and awesome yummy food :) very happy.
Mom and I went to the zoo, here and I took a lot of photos and videos. :) stopped in the shop and got everyone something (gifts again ;) lol not everyone got something from the zoo. Anyway the highlight was seeing my otters! and they were playing with each other and doing flips and going pounce and attacking each other playfully, they were enjoyable to watch and then, we found the elephants, I love elephants!!! Just Emily Heaven! :D :D :D I enjoyed the zoo soooo much. Then mom and I found the Pandas :) the pandas were soooo cute and we caught them while they were eating bamboo. There is soo much bamboo around the zoo you couldn't see through it. There were cheetahs also and they were only 14 months old. They were adorable and reminded me a lot of Hancel (my cat at home) Then we walked over to the tigers and were going to enjoy a show by the zoo with the tigers, and it didn't happen. Courtney also called a lot of times needing a lot of advice. We helped and then we went to go see the lemurs and get pictures for rolly, also there were turtles! and more otters and wolfs and it was just a blast.
We then went to get coffee and walk back to the metro to go back to the Air and Space Museum to get gifts for the family again.... how much stuff can I stuff in my backpack before the airport charges me over fees. ;)
it was an interesting metro ride though, lots of people and then this fat guy.... who smelt really really bad. >.<
and
After the museum we went and found dinner first, at a place called Roti and they cater to gluten free and intolerant people. They called someone off break to specially work with my food and gluten free bread so no cross contamination would happen, that made me feel special and I will recommend them to anyone who comes out this far :) in the L'EnFant Plaza Food court Metro Stop :)
After the museum we went to the Baseball game we had tickets for from the congressional office, and then we also found my friend Caroline from the ceremony. I love her so dearly! She's my twin!
Born a week older than me, and we did a lot of the same goals and activities for our Gold medals.
We are both Christian and Homeschooled it is just awesome to know someone else like me with the same interests. :) I enjoy her company and I was very hyper, which she didn't mind. Normally I have people tell me to calm down, and so this time no one said that and I was able to just goof around and talk with my twin :) She is awesome :D now I have a friend in the east ;)
hehe
Now I'm at the hotel and enjoying the down time, and soon to bed. :) have a great night people.

Washington DC trip 6-19-13
WE slept in! (well only a little, ;)
mom and I were both hesitant to get out of bed this morning. We both miss the family and I think that is what is making this trip a little harder than normal (because it's normally the whole family together :)
We ate, and sneaked food away from the watchful eyes of the cafeteria (evil flame head >.< rude temper woman) [[so I could have snacks for later :) ]] anywho, we got ready and waited for the shuttle. (today was an off day with the shuttle) they had too short of staff, they were taking forever! So we get on the metro and then walk to the Capitol. Once there, we had to divert our wonderful path for all the slow walking people towards this rally/tea-party participation group ;) ( aka rally) out on the Capitol's front lawn.
The congressional award took pictures. I was in several of them. The main group picture, the homeschool picture, the Idaho picture, and the RedCross picture. All very fun, my cheeks hurt from smiling though.
After pictures mom and I headed to the botanical gardens where they have a cat walk, walk around in the tops of the trees for their main room. There are more plants than flowers which I was expecting the way people here were talking about it :) Still took a lot of pictures!
We then went to the Cannon building for the ceremony. I had to be in there first, with the other congressionalist to be told what to do. The guy who directed us, was hilarious and just joyful to be around.
All the other congressionalist, were very strict and droned out. They didn't want to be there, you could tell.
I started to fall asleep during the ceremony after I had my medal. (they had two ceremonies, because of soo many people and winners)
Anyway the day was long, after the ceremony mom and I tried dashing to the Air and Space museum, with 27 minutes till closing. I also snapped about 70 pictures with in the 27 minutes to preserve the memory. Would have loved to spend more time there for my mom, and also go to the cemetery and changing of the guard at the tomb of the unknown soldier.
We then tried figuring out Old King's St. Which is the place to get food around here, we got lost instead and found a Whole Foods Store, which (Idaho, Boise) has and I love it and then we bought fruit and crackers, these heaven crackers and some cheese :D I loved it and just yummy and then we found some bars for tomorrow and friday for when we are walking around on the go and I get hungry ;)
Well that's it :) I had fun and got more gifts for people :)

Washington DC trip 6-18-13
So today mom and I were out since 0900.
On the metro this morning, there was a lady that mom and I struck up a conversation with. She kept asking me what field of study I had gone into. What I graduated from. It was funny I saw her actions to my answers for her. The conversation the lady, my mom, and I had.. The lady thought I was too smart for my own good. That I was wise. Hence why she asked me 2 times what my field of study was. I thought that was hilarious! (homeschoolers for the win! SCORE!)
We met with representative Labrador from the district I live in. He is absolutely charming. :) He made my experience wonderful. He broke the ice very quickly and was inviting also. :) He's an interesting man and I would love to get to know him more.He also impacted my experience in a great way. He was busy, so when we met we had about 5 minutes to talk.
In order to meet him though, we made it to the office and then were lead through this underground basement that connected two buildings and offices, meeting rooms and such. It was incredible and crazy and I was trying to figure out how to think my way through the maze or labyrinth. It's like the congressmen want you to get stuck down in the basement and be swallowed by the government ;) and be minions or something.
After meeting Labrador mom and I went to go to the main part of the Holocaust museum using our tickets from the day previous. We got these passport books that were about the real people in the Holocaust and their story. Every floor we went to you would flip a page for that time era (You go up an elevator and go to the fourth floor downwards.) So we started and just seeing the artifacts, the clothes they wore at concentration camps. Things that were donated to the museum made the experience more real.
The 4th (1st floor I was on) was the history behind everything, which wasn't too bad. There also was a scroll from a sinagag out of a ghetto of Jews, and some kids were reading it! that was cool! Sadly there were no pictures allowed. I feel very sad I could not remember the experience in the future with out the pictures. (I like visual reminders) The 3rd (2nd floor) started the whole experience of seeing artifacts. There were brief stories of where they cam from. I saw a stained glass window from a sinagog also from a Jewish ghetto at the time. The ghetto was bombed and the stained glass window showed and proved this. There were rails from the original railroads in Poland leading to camp Treblinka. Upon the railroad tracks were a cart for travel to and from concentration camps.You could walk through it, it wasn't an actual car, but a replica. There was luggage of actual victims from the Holocaust, beside the car. With names and numbers still written all over them, in different languages. Different handwriting all unique and individual. There were artifacts from Auschwitz bowls, and bunks of the mass murdering camps. The second level and third level held the pictured wall that you always see in most in documentaries. **I'll try to find a picture.** but anyway the picture wall is huge and I was showing mom and pointing out pictures of survivors that I had listened or watched their story. The thing that touched me most, was the shoes that were there. The shoes were in small piles, (Auschwitz has millions upon millions in containers on display) There was one shoe on my right, in the middle of the pile. It was white-ish. There was an amazing connection between seeing it and just experiencing it.
All through out the museum, all through out the tears that came and flooded my sight. "My people!" a strong voice proclaimed. "My people" A voice whispered in sorrow and remorse. "My people" the voice cried in agony. Every time the voice spoke, my heart was destroyed, my knees buckled, my eyes fogged up more. My brain went blank and from the deepest part of my soul I wept for my people as well. Even though Jesus was betrayed by the people he loved and there they were dying a horrific death. Jesus was still weeping for them.
Walked in the rain to a starbucks for more coffee, which was awesome :) and then went to meet Senator Crapo
Met with Senator Mike Crapo (Cray-poe) It was nice, and he was gentle and calm. He was a human and not a politic, same with Labrador. Crapo was a good visit got pictures and criticized for my mismatching socks by another homeschoolers' family that will remain nameless and ignored, because they are a family my mom and I don't see eye to eye with. But heck they are the past and I am awesome ;)
We went to Union Station which is this giant shopping center bigger than the Boise Mall by 5 times.
Bought some gifts for my family and friends :) (can't tell you or they might see)
Then went to the Hyatt Building for the reception and dinner, which was boring with no food ;)
Jk it's to help present the people that run the program with awards. There were three songs, One quoted, one sung and made previously to showing, and one made up on the fly by Doug E Fresh :) which I have a video of :D which is toooo cooool! Loved the people I sat with, even though Labrador could not make it (I was at his table because I'm the only one from his District and it is awesome!)
Just a wonderful night and was blessed, then when back at the hotel; I shoved my face full of food I could eat.
I facetimed my best friend back home for a while and waited for my sister to call, not half 'n' hour later :)
enjoyed today and enjoyed everything, Truly, I say. I am blessed.

WashingtonDC trip 6-17-13
So wow, where to begin?
Mom and I had a hard time sleeping, she kept snoring and I kept sleep talking and moving and sleep walking all night. I find it funny though :)
Anyway, we went down to breakfast, after getting ready for the day, around 6:45 and was shuttled to the Metro by 0730 and soon on our way to our first destination (the Library of Congress).
First the metro station, is really cool! But I didn't know it went underground (mostly forgot in all my excitement ;) anyway, we went underground. Over bridges and crazily enough repeated a cycle of underground, and then above for a while. There were many stops along the metro we had to take, so it did take a while. As the train pulled into an underground station, I was like whoa! there's another city down here XD and then when it came to mom and I having to get off on our stop underground, we came to find out that the metro we needed was on ANOTHER level! so there were two levels to the metro underground, one above ground and I was astonished that the metro was that complex XD
Next stop the Jefferson Building. Oh my word! The history behind it! just amazing :) Got to go view the main reading room (that's in national treasure's 2?) the statues in that room were incredible (they didn't let you take pictures of anything really.. which really stinks, but I will remember it :) there were different statues there representing the different science and things that were brought to America for development of the nation.
Then the book collection of Thomas Jefferson :) he sold 6,000 books total to the library, then when the white house (the library stash at the time) was burnt down there were roughly around 1/3 of his collection unharmed, and the rest of his collection is being replaced by congress. Walking around the whole building though was a gift in itself. The architecture and design of everything, made me think how skilled these men and women are to make this building. There are entire marble columns and staircases. :) it was a beautiful sight.
After that, mom and I went back on the metro to go pick up the bikes we were to ride around on all day. We got lost-ish. We just went the wrong way, right place! Wrong way ;)
We got the bike with a group-on which saved millions right there. 2 dollars more for the group-on for the whole day till close, than the 2 hour pass. Once we got our bikes, we headed towards the "Mall."
The mall is where all the main museums and visitor centers are. Mom and I traveled to look at the Declaration of Independence, but we were unable to get in.
So we grabbed icecream for lunch lol, and head to the Capitol building. Where we got a personalized tour of everything :) it was incredible :) knowing the history of the it and how the House and Senate, switched places. Saw some old courtrooms. :) Statues of famous people, ghost stories and the works. Also have a House and Senate pass, meaning I can go watch them debate stuff in the room! We didn't use the passes sadly. I was about dead from no sleep. So mom and I went to go get lunch-fries and pudding (to share),
Next we took our bikes and rode around the mall, and towards the Jefferson Memorial. :) ((after we found coffee for me and mom to wake up because we were dead on our feet, to say)) it was fun, we got caught in a Down poor of rain,. As in a flash flood type of rain. The rain drops were huge! :) I wanted to dance in the rain, and then kept stopping myself, because I didn't want to be wet ;)
Do you know how tall the Jefferson statue is? or the pillars to hold up the place? Its Massive! we waited out the rain storm and continued on our way :)
After Jefferson was the FDR memorial, which we walked backward unintentionally, took a lot of pictures, sadly that's when the camera started to die. So, we took pictures as soon as we could. :) and as fast too.
I kept shuffling my feet along the memorial's ground stones, because I was afraid of slipping like I always do on wet slick surfaces ;) mom was more accident prone today than me... so I am okay ;)
Found a shirt and hat that I absolutely love :) want to find stuff for my family and best friend though :)
Then we went to see the Lincoln Memorial, needles to say I hate stairs at the moment.... so many and me slipping on them is just a curse waiting to happen. Haha. He's huge! Lincoln is big! and then we tried finding the bookstore after going down steps to find an elevator taking us back up to the main part of the memorial and to the bookstore. Again, I went down the elevator ( I really don't like them, they make me dizzy. but I was tired of the steps!)
We left and visited the Vietnam and Korean war monuments. then the walls of remembrance (not the real name.) Some dumb dude was being very disrespectful though. We went on the the WWII memorial, not the holocaust museum. Also the Boyscout Memorial, and the White House. Returned the bikes and headed home. We went to the little store here at the hotel and got dinner lol. **
Anyway, long day and eventful one at that. Mom says I'm more reasonable with food in my stomach ;)
haha throwing that out there ;)
Came home, showered wrote a lot. ate food :) It was a great day :) lots of pictures too :) soo happy I had a camera :D

Washington DC trip 6-16-13
Multiple entries, because I needed a hobby while we were flying to DC
So much to tell you! Back in February I submitted my congressional report and paper work. Then was accepted into the Gold Congressional Program ceremony :)
Annoying thing is it's over my birthday, which my mom is excited for (I am to a point), but I was hoping to spend my birthday at home, with my best friend.
Today is Sunday (the day of travel... I thought it was the day of rest ;) ) and I am on an airplane. I can't believe it! I'll have you know; you don't take an adolescent sleep deprived almost 18 year old anxious girl, on an airplane! Unless you want to see her flip out and cry. Not saying I cried , but I was about to.:3
Buddy Bosko ;) aka the green fluffy antler jingle bell hedge hog was very helpful :) [[A gift from said best friend]] I am on my way to phoenix right now. The airport was so annoying. You know the person scanner everyone didn't like because it took a 3D image and displayed it, like in replacement of an x-ray and pat-down? Well I had to go through that universal machine. I almost cried then too. Why am I crying so much? I have no clue! XD Mom's bad had to be searched at Boise. Because, of her carrying the shampoo and conditioner. Why didn't they search my bad though? I had all my meds and containers and my nebulizer. So why didn't they stop me? Only God knows ;)
Right now, I'm flying and alive and missing my best friend.
Since today is Father's Day, I left my dad a wonderful card, note, balloon, and candy bar :^_^ I love him dearly !! He drove me and mom to the airport and helped us go on this trip. The flight took off at 0700 and we were at he airport by 0600. I barely got any sleep though. :3 I fell asleep around 0230 so it's going to be fun to try and stay awake for another flight. I feel light headed and dizzy and sick... Although my ears aren't too bad. Took my Allegra D so my raynauds might flare up soon. Joyful thought right? :D
I think I might nap now. ;)
Still on the airplane, anyway you know how you promise yourself you'd never do something? Swear it on your life? haha well I just broke that personal promise. I fell asleep on a place. Wasn't to bad. I kept my feet on the wall of the plane, and the vibration reminded me of the car ride to Reno, NV in our minivan. It was bumpy but comforting So as I fell asleep I reminded myself that I was in the car to Reno. Which helped :) so did my mom. She comforted me :) I would only wake up if the speaker/captain/pilot dude started talking, or if the seat belt bell sounded. And if we had any turbulence mom would hug me and kiss me. :)
So after we landed we caught a shuttle to the hotel got settled in and went out to dinner in Old Town Alexandria. Food was awesome :) Had this Salmon potato green bean dinner :) yum! I didn't have breakfast and had a very small lunch. A lot of the people here aren't friendly and are surprised by mom's and my courtesy. Expect Bobby :) he's the bus driver and is just to awesome for words. :)
Dinner cost 50$ tonight... :3 lot of money XD But after walking around, taking pictures I sat down waiting for the shuttle to take me and mom and other fellow hotel persons back, my brain meandered away.
Thoughts, from seeing old structures, flooded my mind.
What if some little girl was playing hoop down this cobbled street?
Imagine all the businesses holding sophisticated people in dresses out of style.
It was amazing, then the street lights went on. Imagine someone lighting those in the evening! and strolling along the cobblestone with a lover or a friend in a different era :)
To COOL!
Wish my best friend was here though. They would enjoy this a lot :) so far a really good day :)

Buddy Bosko ;) aka the green fluffy antler jingle bell hedge hog was very helpful :) [[A gift from said best friend]] I am on my way to phoenix right now. The airport was so annoying. You know the person scanner everyone didn't like because it took a 3D image and displayed it, like in replacement of an x-ray and pat-down? Well I had to go through that universal machine. I almost cried then too. Why am I crying so much? I have no clue! XD Mom's bad had to be searched at Boise. Because, of her carrying the shampoo and conditioner. Why didn't they search my bad though? I had all my meds and containers and my nebulizer. So why didn't they stop me? Only God knows ;)
Right now, I'm flying and alive and missing my best friend.
Since today is Father's Day, I left my dad a wonderful card, note, balloon, and candy bar :^_^ I love him dearly !! He drove me and mom to the airport and helped us go on this trip. The flight took off at 0700 and we were at he airport by 0600. I barely got any sleep though. :3 I fell asleep around 0230 so it's going to be fun to try and stay awake for another flight. I feel light headed and dizzy and sick... Although my ears aren't too bad. Took my Allegra D so my raynauds might flare up soon. Joyful thought right? :D
I think I might nap now. ;)
Still on the airplane, anyway you know how you promise yourself you'd never do something? Swear it on your life? haha well I just broke that personal promise. I fell asleep on a place. Wasn't to bad. I kept my feet on the wall of the plane, and the vibration reminded me of the car ride to Reno, NV in our minivan. It was bumpy but comforting So as I fell asleep I reminded myself that I was in the car to Reno. Which helped :) so did my mom. She comforted me :) I would only wake up if the speaker/captain/pilot dude started talking, or if the seat belt bell sounded. And if we had any turbulence mom would hug me and kiss me. :)
So after we landed we caught a shuttle to the hotel got settled in and went out to dinner in Old Town Alexandria. Food was awesome :) Had this Salmon potato green bean dinner :) yum! I didn't have breakfast and had a very small lunch. A lot of the people here aren't friendly and are surprised by mom's and my courtesy. Expect Bobby :) he's the bus driver and is just to awesome for words. :)
Dinner cost 50$ tonight... :3 lot of money XD But after walking around, taking pictures I sat down waiting for the shuttle to take me and mom and other fellow hotel persons back, my brain meandered away.
Thoughts, from seeing old structures, flooded my mind.
What if some little girl was playing hoop down this cobbled street?
Imagine all the businesses holding sophisticated people in dresses out of style.
It was amazing, then the street lights went on. Imagine someone lighting those in the evening! and strolling along the cobblestone with a lover or a friend in a different era :)
To COOL!
Wish my best friend was here though. They would enjoy this a lot :) so far a really good day :)
