On the last day of May Sabina's host dad had arranged a trip to Washington D.C. for us. I was more than happy to go there with them, because I hadn't been there before. It's great to live in Pennsylvania, only couple hours away from the amazing cities of East coast. We drove from Lancaster to a parking lot of a university and then took a metro to the Mall.
Our first stop was the National Air and Space Museum. The museum was free to go in. I can proudly say that now I have touched a rock from the moon :D
Our group!
Eat ice cream, it nutritional.
After going around in the museum it was time for a lunch break. Varpu, Dan, and I went to downtown since we had some time left after eating. We went in to the International Spy Museum store, saw the Verizon Center where Washington Capitols hockey team plays, and just wandered around.
Then we headed back towards the Capitol building to meet with the others and take tourist pictures.
From the Capitol we walked down to the National Museum of Natural History, which was also free to visit.
Since we were in Washington we had to visit the White House. From there we walked to the World War II Memorial. I have to say that the distances at the Mall are really long. We wanted to visit to the Lincoln Memorial, but after walking the entire day in really warm weather, we all ended up to be too tired to do that. Overall, it was a really good day!
On the next day my host sisters and I did the Color Run in Hershey! We were supposed to go there with the whole family, but my host parents were in Texas at Alex's graduation from the Air Force bootcamp. It's seriously the happiest 5K on the planet! During the run you run through color stations where they throw color on you. After finishing the race you'll be covered in all different colors. It was so much fun, and I would absolutely do it again if I'll ever get a chance to!
