I was to go on a bus trip to Washington DC, the Capitol of the United States of America. Our first stop on the bus trip was Patterson in New York. Patterson was amazing!!!! The artwork on the walls was breathtaking and our tour guide was super nice. As we walked around we got to see how everything worked, how everything was designed and translated, it was just amazing.
Afterwords we went and stayed at our first hotel. Right across our hotel was this cute little diner called "The cup and saucer", and let me tell you this.. The burgers are AMAZING!! We went back to our room and went to bed. The next morning we got back on the bus and headed for The Walkhill farm, might I just say that this was probably my favorite part of the trip!
Walkhill was spectacular. The Walkhill farm is the part of Bethel that does printing. I think my favorite part of Walkhill was when we cold see the printing presses. Seeing how fast and efficient they work was beyond amazing! As we walked around we could see how organized everything was and just to see it all was simply spectacular. Our tour guide was really nice, and my cousin Theo knew him so we got to see some 'behind the scenes' sort of stuff. One of the things we got to see was the real estate area. We got to see the buying, the selling and the donations. The origination of everything is such a beautiful thing.
After we were done at Walkhill we headed for Washington. We got there really late at night, it must have been near to 9 o'clock by the time we finally got to the hotel. Tired from the days events I fell asleep pretty much right away. The next morning we went to the Smithsonian.
As we all piled onto the bus, I was getting really excited, I couldn't wait to go to the natural history museum! Our bus driver and my cousin Gene gave us instructions on what to do. Mum and I walked over to the natural history museum first. We decided to check out the dinosaur bones first, they were so cool! Next we decided to go and check out the hope diamond, it was so beautiful! Afterwords we went and checked out the animals and the animal photography. Lastly we went to the butterfly pavilion, it was breathtaking!! All the butterfly's of different colors, shapes and sizes, mixed in the variety of plants, it was beautiful.
After this we walked over to the American history museum. We explored for a little bit, we found the general motors area and we got to see all the innovations. Next we found the food area, and it was really cool to see Julia Childs kitchen. We finally found first lady's dresses, and they were so beautiful! We got some lunch, and we saw the counter, there was a demonstration going on and we got to see it, it was pretty cool.
Afterwords we walked over to the air and space museum, it was so cool! When we were done looking around we went back to where we had to wait for the bus. That night my cousin Kim and her husband Theo invited me to go and play some card games them them and some other people from the bus. It was so much fun. We played a game calls "Mafia" and we had loads of fun.
The next morning we went to the zoo and it was cool to see all the animals. I think that my favorite animal was either the pandas or the otters. After the zoo we went to the old post office with the clock tower, and we had a lot of fun.
To sum it all up, I had a bunch of fun on the trip to Washington, and I really hope that I can go again!
