Hello, from the Washington National Zoo! We arrived here about two and a half hours earlier, and are now leaving. And let me tell you, it is so warm out! I am sweating so much! Guess what the temperature is??!! 82 degrees out! We just got back on the bus and now they turn on the air conditioning! It makes you wish it was summer out in Vermont! There was a lot of animals there. Pandas, Cheetahs, Gazelles, Meerkats, and others. My favorite would have to be the Pandas or Meerkats! They were really cute! I also made a stop at the Gift Shop. And bought a couple of things!! ;) That was pretty fun too. Today was a jam packed day, and I'm pretty tired! We started off in the morning by going to a Teddy Roosevelt memorial. And it was really pretty there. With all the blossom trees and such. We all then traveled to the Jefferson memorial. And it was huge inside! It was shaped like a dome, with writing carved into the walls, and Jefferson standing in the middle of it! After we were done there, we went to the Roosevelt Island, where we all took an 8th grade picture. Then we went to the Arlington National Cemetery. It was actually pretty incredible there! There were so many white graves and white blossom trees everywhere. When we were there, we climbed up a path to the Tomb of the Unknown solders. And watched a short program. And finally we ended up at the zoo. Which turned out to be really fun! Especially since we got the freedom to go anywhere in the zoo by ourselves. I'm not sure were we are going now. But it might take awhile, since the traffic is pretty bad! Thats about it for now!
