  1. Man why you trippin' I mean like if I got a wedgie then the ride won't be fun. But you said they fresh with making me dry in stuff so I'm good in da hood homes.

    Oh my god this is one of the most painful posts I have ever had the displeasure of reading. Seriously?

    Imme lauegfin my a$$ uff. Haha. I can type and I'm doing it on my iPod.

  2. GREAT PICS!!!! I was there in October for the sjh 8th grade trip and it was a lot of fun! most of my pictures werent that great (most of them were of my friends) but you did an excelent job! They wouldn't let us in the washington monument, i gues 490 kids is too many :lol:

    haha. thanks so much for your comments. yah 60 people were crazy.. we all had to go up at different times because they cant fit everyone in at once. lol We had the tickets pre-purchased and i know before opening they already were sold out for the day.

  3. Are you sure it undefinedwas 30 dollars for a hamburger? i went on there website and it said 3 to 11 dollars for different things. unless you went to the source restaraunt which is a wolfgang puck restaraunt.

    It was called wolfgang puck something. We all thought it'd be that cheap bit after getting to the front it wasn't. Then again add a drink on it. LOL. either way... Eat before you go LOL

  4. Great photos and trip report. I haven't been to Washington D.C. since 2000. The World War Two memorial looks great and the Newsmeum was one of my favorite museums, although I haven't been to the new one.

    Thanks! :) One really neat thing is outside the Newseum they have newspapers from all over the world for the same day!!

  5. Haha. Lets say some kids only brought $50 bucks so that lunch really was taking up their money. The person eating next to me got a salad for $37 bucks... BOYYYY!! and its just a museum cafe, nothing special. Just very packed. And when theres a lot of high school students starving, they dont really care how much it costs. Lol. Yeah our bus driver was crazy and navigated that bus. haha. :) There was so many charter buses in Washington that it was hard to figure out which one was ours.. lol

  6. Great TR. My brother lives in Alexandria VA so I visit DC a lot. I have yet to go to the Newseum (it's way too expensive) but having seen some of your pictures of displays makes me want to go there on my next trip (which will probably be in April or May).

    Did you guys go to any of the Smithsonian Museums? They are absolutely amazing, especially considering they have free admission! I went to the American History museum on my last trip there in December, but I didn't get to spend too much time there - we only had a little over an hour before they closed that night. I've been to all the museums on my various trips there, they are definitely worth the time to check out.

    See above about the smithsonian. And yes, the Newseum is extremely expensive.. Its costs $30 bucks for a cheeseburger at the cafe(which lucky us that was where we were stuck paying for lunch at) Haha. They have a 4-D theatre in it and i really enjoyed looking at some of the exhibits such as the Berlin Wall or going upstairs. They have a lot of rooms though that we didnt go in but which have screens of all different things such as sports news, and political!

  7. Glad to hear you had such a great learning time and took the time to share your trip with us.

    I really enjoyed it, and theres so much to do in Washington that we had no time to rest. lol. We also were let loose at the Smithsonian museums and got to choose whichever ones we wanted to go to. :) So that was fun. I went to the Air and Space, along with 2 other art museums. If you ever go to Washington, you really need to take at least a week!

  8. We also visited the Holocaust Museum(not allowed to take pictures)

    It is truly an emotional museum. Were you able to go to the part of the museum where you follow the journey of a Holocaust victim?

    Yes. Everyone in our group had to take a different story and we all followed the journey. I also enjoyed how they had a kid part of the museum so that the kids would be able to understand it. My favorite parts of that museum was actually all of us stuffing ourselfs into the cable car to see how it smelt and felt, and then seeing all those shoes.. WOW! They have such amazing artifacts its unbelievable!

  9. GREAT PTR i went there twice. Is the Pentagon Memorial just benches?

    Pretty much. The benches are name plated to tell who died in the crash. I believe that the benches pointing away from the building were people in the building, and the benches pointing towards the buiding were the people who were in the plane that crashed. They put so much detail into the benches.. each bench had a little waterfall under it with lights in the water.

  10. Did you use the Metro? We loved using the subway, makes getting around so much easier.

    Its was definately a fun time. We had so much planned so there was no stopping. No we didnt use the metro, instead we used a charter bus. haha. it was fun trying to stick that some places. A huge metro bus. lol. We also visited the Holocaust Museum(not allowed to take pictures), Shear Madness play, and a lot of other memorials.

    Was it really busy when you were there? Because when I was there it was packed.

    It was jammed pack busy, even at 11 PM at the Lincoln Memorial it was crazy busy.. School groups were everyone and then it was 2 days after the election so that also made it crazy!

  11. Hello! This is my first PTR so hang tight! This was my senior class trip to Washington DC. We went 2 days after the election. It was quite fun, and first we started out in Arlington National Cemetery.

    We also got to see the changing of the guards so that was a really neat experience!n1422930491_30359376_9544.jpg

    In front of the White House, It was quite a construction site because they were getting ready for Inauguration.

    This is the newly opened Pentagon Memorial, it was extremely nice. You can tell they put a lot of effort into it

    My absolutely favorite Memorial BY FAR! THe World War 2. My grandpa fought in this war so it meant a lot to me! It was also so beautiful!
