4th of July

For the 4th me and my friends Jackie and Lowell went to D.C. We went on the 3rd to see the runthrough of the big celebration. It was less crowded but it was still packed!! It was a very long fun day!! Everywhere we went we had to go through a security check, it was crazy!! It was very hot and humid and we had to walk everywhere so we were feeling pretty nasty by the end of the day!!

National Monument

We went to the Air and Space Museum, it's a bunch of airplanes everywhere. Lowell LOVED It!! He's a mechanical engineer who specializes in airplane engines so he was in Heaven. Me and Jackie on the other hand were getting SO Bored!! lol But it was funny to see him get all worked up about a plane and he would start telling us all these facts about it. He kept us intertained!!

I got hit by a plane!!

Saving our spot on the Capitol steps waiting for the concert to start.

The Capitol was really pretty at night. If you look closely you can see the sniper standing on the balcony. We saw two others on the buildings on either side of us.

The first two performers weren't there, they just had people up an stage acting like the performer. We were really dissapointed and we were afraid that none of them were going to be there. But they were and it was Awwsome!! It was way crowded all around us and you couldn't stand up so you just had to adjust your head position to see the stage.

John Schneider (Bo Duke from Dukes of Hazard, Jonathan Kent from Smallville) He was a really good singer and I Love him in Smallville so I was pretty excited when I saw him there.

Reba McEntire, she sang last and she sang the most songs. Jackie doesn't like country music so I was sure to show her that I knew all the songs :)

David Archuleta, he is just so adorable. We thought we saw him in the Air and Space Museum, I'm telling you this kid was his Doppelganger!! Me and Jackie were freaking out and kinda stalking him for a minute, but in the end it wasn't him. I stood kinda behind him and was like "Hey David" and nothing. LOL It was fun!!

We also went to the Holocaust Museum wich was very sad!! It was very quiet and it really just hits you, I can;t really even explain it. There was one section where they had all the shoe's from the people who were gassed. They were baby shoes, kid shoes, women and men shoes, and there were SO Many of them!!

I've decided I don't care for the Metro. There are just too many people and they are rude and pushy and I'm just a country girl and I like it that way!! Ic ould never live in the city!! There's was this nasty little chinease man who sat next to me and he reaked of alchohol. Then there was this guy sitting across from us who was wasted and stoned!! He was really creaping us out!! There is still alot of stuff I haven't seen so we're going back in a couple weeks so I'll have more soon.
