What I Did on My April Vacation
April vacation probably the best vacation I’ve had so far of my sixth grade year. Washington D.C, the capital of America, New Jersey and Maryland, these are the places my family planned on going to for vacation, and I expected to have a good time. First we headed off to New Jersey where my aunt and uncle lived with their daughter Eniola. We stayed at their house for one day because the next day we would be taking my aunt and my cousin, Ennie, to Washington D.C where we would go sightseeing. Unfortunately we planned on going early until I noticed I forgot to pass in an essay so I had to type it all over and email it to school, this caused a delay of one hour on our trip to Washington. When we got there we were amazed that there were countless buildings we just couldn’t wait to explore.
During our tour we walked a long way. We saw many sites like Capitol Hill, National Portrait Gallery, the Smithsonian American Art Museum, the US Capitol, the National Arboretum, the Washington Monument, the World War II and last but not least the White House. My favorites out of all the places we visited were the Washington Monument, the World War II Memorial and the White House. The Washington Monument was an miraculous site. The monument was so massive you couldn’t even see the top of it if you were close. When we saw the White House I imagined it being a little bigger like it is in some pictures, but it did have a beautiful garden with lots of pretty flowers. The World War II Memorial was wonderful. There were pictures to show me what all the soldiers went through during the war. Each state had a rectangle wall with its name on it and a wreath below the name of the state. As you walked around you would see inspirational and quotes about the soldiers on the walls in the memorial.
After we had looked at all the sites we wanted to see we drove to Maryland to drop off Ennie and my Aunt at my cousin Fela’s house. Afterward my uncle drove down to Fela’s house to stay with my aunt and cousin. We stayed over Fela’s house till eleven o’ clock and then left to our hotel, which is also in Maryland, and had a good night’s rest. The next day we walked to a near by mall and went to my dad’s friend’s house. We then went back to the hotel get ready for the next day. We had to pack and get ready because we were going to church and leaving for New Jersey that day. When church ended, we went to Fela’s house so we could stay a while and say goodbye. We left before Ennie, her mother, and father. Once we got back to Ennie’s house in New Jersey, we stayed up late, talked, and then went to bed. The following day which was a Monday we left for Boston. When we arrived it was a great relief I was tired, my feet were sore, and I was really hungry. For the rest of the week we stayed home and went shopping. My experience in Washington was unbelievable, educational, and enjoyable. I’m so glad I had the opportunity to go.
