Oh. My. Gosh!!!

K, sorry we're late about yesterday. Let us fill you in quickly before we leave. It started off a beautiful day. Nice and warm, little breeze.... okay, it was HOT with a little breeze. Sooo, we went paddleboating! (yay) Peter, Jess and I were in one boat, Jenn, Rach, Kelly and Kels were in another. The Peterboat was awesome! We got to talk (but I did most of the work. Thank goodness for cross-country) and Peter rocked the boat a couple times. We got to see the Jefferson Monument from the water and a very sceanic view of the Cherry Blossom Fesival. That's all from Bree, Jess'll pick up from here with the Smithsonian Natural History Museum. Right, Jess?

HEEEYYY! It's Jessica! Didja miss me? I thought so. So the Smithsonian. It. Was. Awesome! I got loads of souviners to bring home! I got a shiny necklace, a shiny ring, a shiny orb(aw yeah), a shiny dice, a hat, a snowglobe, a Japanese sun umbrella(yay!) and shreded money. Bree and I first went to see all the shiny stuff. *sighs* Remember the Botanical Garden? I acted like that, but only a little more evil because I wanted to shove them in Bree's purse. So after that we went to the bugs. I hate bugs. But Bree made me go through it. *shivers* HATE THEM!!! Anyways, then we went to a bones exhibit, that was cool. Next, all the lovely fishies. They were so cute. I even got a picture with Dorey and Marlin and Nemo! I felt famous. Then we went to the dinosaur part! That was so cool! I felt as if I was back in time!!! Too bad they were only bones. Next the mammals part. Have you ever seen Battle at the Smithsonian? Well, I haven't but I get the concept. Everything comes to life at night. So never, NEVER go to the mammals section at the Smithsonian. There are lions and tigers and giraffes and a whole bunch of animals. There was even a squirrel. After that we had to go. This was tied up there with the Botanical Gardens. The cherry blossoms were fun too. Well, we gotta go. Loading up into the van! We'll see you all really soon!!!
