My Vacation~!

I went on vacation that seemed really short... and yet, really long at the same time.
To be honest, I'm too lazy to really post all about it in detail... because well, a lot happened xD.
However, what I am going to do is show you some of the pictures from my vacation and then explain a little bit through them :D.

In short, I went to six flags a whole crap load of times. My dad won a whole lot of those carnival toys! I can hardly walk on the floor with all these giant toys on the ground xP.
I don't have any pictures from six flags though ^ ^;; sorry.

Afterwards, I went to Washington D.C. and I must say, I loved it ;w;. I've always wanted to visit D.C. when I was kid. //patrism xD.
During our time in D.C., it must be said now that there was a LOT of walking. All the tourist sightes are clumped together. However, they're still quite the distance apart from each other.

This is The Treasury Department. It was one of the first sites we saw while trying to walk to the Washington Monument (which was very far from where we parked ;A;). It's a very important building... or so I assume since it wouldn't let anybody in :\ I liked the statue infront of it though ^^.

I also went to the WWII Memorial. (there's lots of memorials in D.C.

The part of D.C. I went to must be like big on recycling and keeping things clean because there were so many trash cans everywhere. It was crazy! I totally feel bad for the people who are in charge of maintaining the park. They must have so many garbage bags in stock!

 LOL.... this is just a picture of me messing with the Washington Monument... xDD;;. I was at the Lincoln Memorial when I took this. You can see that long stretch of water infront of it (which I do not know the name of... ^^;). I got this from a lady who was standing next by. It was funny because after she kept shouting to her boyfriend "Take a picture of my hand!" several times (quite loudly), everyone decided it was also a good idea. Thereafter, copying her idea xD. /

 Okay, so most people might want to see the White House, or maybe the national Christmas tree (LOL which I thought was completely hilarious! XD Leave it up to the Americans to have a "national" tree for Christmas). However, my family deeply desired to see the Lincoln Memorial! Everyone in my family was dying from walking from our parking space to the Washington Memorial (which wasn't that far, but my family is a bunch of weaklings. I was perfectly fine xP). Despite such "exhaustion", they strived on to keep walking. Why? LOL. because the Lincoln Memorial has appeared in only a ton of movies! XD. //movie fan. Of course, respect for Lincoln himself was implaced into our want to see his statue... :>

My family didn't really get to see the White House. They were all too tired to walk there. Bunch of lazy bums. hmph =3=. LOL. We got to see the back of the White House though... which is better than nothing, I suppose xD.

Visiting D.C. was quite fun! We got to see the Smithsonian too! Or at least part of it. The Smithsonian was too big to see all in one day (we only spent one day in total in D.C. btw). We saw the part with prehistoric animals in it (We got to see Manny, Sid, and Diego! :'D //shot).
Being in Maryland in general was quite amazing all in itself! Maryland is so green and pretty !! Tons and tons of trees! Quite beautiful :')
...the only weird part about Maryland was that I must have passed by like three or more adult stores there >___>......
LOL. The catch phrases/sayings those kinds of stores put up are funny though xD. //can't remember any atm.
 I also went to Hershey's Chocolate World!! :D. I did Chocolate taste testing and actually made my own chocolate bar!! It was a lot of fun, but expensive .___. I also got this really nice Hershey's Sweater ^___^. However, to my family's disappointment, we found out there was a bigger better Hershey place right here in NY. //fail. LOL. Well at least we got to see the original place ;w;. I mean a whole town was built off of Hershey's Chocolate. (you should look up the history of it! It's quite interesting :'D).


I also visited my cousins in Pennsylvania! It was great to see them :'D. I also bought a lot of clothes there //happyyy~. lolool. I really did enjoy seeing them though ^^. My auntie (dad's sister) is an extermely weird person. Well...I mean, we are related xD. She's very blunt and stubborn with her opinions. I love seeing her have sibling arguments with my dad :>.
Oh! And I helped my cousin create her very own blog too!! :D I'm super excited that she started a blog too! You should go visit it by clicking this link

Spring Vacation

It's spring vacation! YAY! ...*cries* But I get stuck with a bunch of homework. I don't even think you can call it a vacation. Last time I checked, a vacation doesn't involve working. I mean they're easy packets, but it still takes up my free time. I also have a lot of reading books that I want to finish, but I just haven't been in the reading mood. However, I borrowed the books from the library, so I'm kind of forced to read it much sooner then planned. I don't really have any plans for this vacation. The only really "exciting" thing I'm doing, is helping one of my friends, Joyce, with her science fair project. It involves kite flying. I'm not really sure what's she's trying to test in her experiment. The funny part is that she's never flown a kite before, so she asked me to be the one to fly the kite, since I have kite flying experience. For some reason Joyce needs a bunch of people to help her in her experiment. I'm the one flying the kite, Joyce is going to make the measurements and observations (you know the important stuff needed for a science project), and my other friend, Eunice, is going to be the one taking pictures. I also have another friend who is coming, and her name just so happens to be Joyce as well. Hm... but to make it easier for you to determine the difference between the two, I'll call the Joyce doing the experiment, Nyu. The Joyce who is just coming to participate in the experiment shall be called Bubbles. Lolz. Yes I agree such weird names, right? It's sort of hard to explain why I chose those names, so I might save that story for another day. Anyways I'm not sure why Bubbles is coming. I think she's more like an extra helper because there doesn't seem like there's anything else needed for the experiment. We plan on going to a large park to do this experiment. I'm kind of excited ^ ^. It may be to your surprise but I don't get out much xD. I mean my schedule is go to school, go to after school, come home. Only once in a blue moon do I get to go out a do stuff with my friends. Sigh~ my dad can be a bit protective, but it's okay. I know he's just caring/worrying about me. Anyways, I love that spring is here. The weather is finally warm! Cold weather sucks, and so does hot weather. I like spring and fall because that's when the weather is not too hot or too cold, it's just right :). Spring is nice. You get to see all the pretty flowers bloom and it's the growing season. It's very pretty. But I think my favorite season would be fall. I like how pretty the trees look when they change color. It's also fun to kick my feet around in the leaves ^ ^. Fall is also the time when a new school year begins, and I get to meet new people. There's no real deep meaningful reason as to why I like fall. I just do xD.
It's funny how I'm talking about spring vacation, and end up talking about fall.
