A vist to the president's home

The week before starting school my sister made a trip to Washington D.C with my parents and me. It was a tour of D.C and I couldn't wait to get there. Our first stop was in Philadelphia where we saw the Liberty Bell and where they sign the Declaration of Independent. Our next stop was Washington D.C where we went straight to Capitol Hill and then to Washington Museum Of Natural Hisotry. The next morning we went first to the Vietnam War Memorial Wall where they had all of the people who died in the war it was this long black wall with carved name. Then we headed for the Lincoln Memorial, as you walked up the stairs you could see this man and then when you reach the top there he is Lincoln on this chair with his coat covering some of the chair looking straight at you. It so amazing I almost felt for a second like i should have bowed to him and when you look up at his face you'll notice that there a speech behind him saying "IN THIS TEMPLE AS IN THE HEARTS OF THE PEOPLE FOR WHOM HE SAVED THE UNION THE MEMORY OF ABRAHAM LINCOLN IS ENSHRINED FOREVER". But that wasn't the only speech up to your left was the Gettysburg Address in this big tablet on the wall and on your right one of this great speeches in two tablet. When you look out of the Lincoln Memorial you could see the Washington Monument right there. You could actually walk to it and see the big old obelisk where once in the 1960's Martin Luther King Lead the March on Washington. Next stop was Jefferson Memorial in this big dome and another 100 stairs to walk but when I reached the top it was not worthless. Thomas Jefferson is just standing there high and proud he looks like he's ready for any thing. Inside are three different of speeches southwest from him is a part of the Declaration of Independent, northwest a speech of James Madison and northeast a letter from July 12, 1816 to Samuel Kercheval. All around the inside of the dome above there's a small speech that Jefferson had wrote to Dr.Benjamin Rush in a letter saying "I have sworn upon the altar of God eternal hostility against every form of tyranny over the mind of man." The last stop of the day was The White House where all of are 43 president have lived in and is living in. The last day in Washington we visited the Aviation Museum National Air and Space Museum where they had everything from the first air craft and ship to the one we have now and in the future also the first people to complete a record or first to do something in these crafts. There was one thing that stood in my head that day and was this quote " It's human nature to stretch, to go, to see, to understand. Exporlation is not a choice, really; it's an imperative" by Michael Collins Apollo 11.
