I went to Washington D.C. with my family (besides my Dad) last December. We saw a lot of the memorials and the Washington Monument even though it was very foggy. We also went to the Hirshhorn Art Museum but you aren't allowed to take pictures in there.   Washington Monument...   ...in the fog  reflections in the Reflecting Pool  Lincoln Memorial Fail!!!!! (Can't even see that I'm holding the Washington Monument). :P Korean War Memorial  Vietnam War Memorial Three Soldiers Memorial  (near Vietnam War Memorial) Nurses' Memorial Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial Jefferson Memorial  (sorry for the bad picture I zoomed in from the Tidal Basin)  National Christmas tree  train set The White House

backpacking

Last fall, a group of my friends and their dads went with my dad and I backpacking on the Appalachian Trail. We went from Friday night to Sunday afternoon. On Friday we only hiked 2 miles because we started hiking at 4:00. Then on Saturday we hiked 10 miles which was pretty tiring. But when we got to our campsite it was worth it. There was a small lake with a rope swing near where we were camping (and in the morning we walked there). Then that evening we ate super and hiked up the mountain (without our backpacks) =+) to a view to see the lights all over Lebanon valley. It was amazing! Then we turned around to leave only to find a copperhead right in front of us! That was my first time seeing one. After that we hiked back down and went to bed. In the morning we ate breakfast and went to the lake. Then we hiked to our cars and drove home. me and my dad's tent  our campsite Friday night   on Sunday morning  tents  the lake ...
