The journey started off with me worrying about being late. My mom dropped me off at the Metro station, and we waited for David to show up. When he arrived, my mom kissed me goodbye and sent us off on the adventure. We got on the Metro 20 minutes before we were supposed to be there, and it wasn't a very short trip. It was supposed to be 30 minutes, but turned into 40. We arrived at 8:25, 25 minutes late. I was sure that we were going to be the latest. We saw another one of our classmates, so we met up with her and talked. It was 8:30 and 3 out of 11 people were there. One said they weren't coming so 7 people weren't there yet. We waited and waited and waited. But finally, at 9:45, everyone was finally there. They all seemed to show up at the same time.
We started our journey with lots and lots of walking, which I wasn't too fond off, but I wasn't going to complain. We walked to a beautiful location, that we never found the name of, I don't think. But again, it was beautiful.
Next up, we walked along a long bike trail, and again, I don't like walking, so this wasn't the most pleasant of things, especially because of this steep hill that was wet from rain. I fell about 4-5 times in the first journey, and that was when I was on dry land! I carefully went up the hill, somehow not falling or dying.
We had to stay close the the right side of the bike trail because of bikers almost running over us...yeah, that would've been bad.
After 30 minutes of just walking, we made it near Gravelly Point Park. We were in a really good spot to see airplanes taking off. It was really cool, but loud.
The planes were awesome to watch, and there were so many! We also were supposed to take a selfie, which we did, but people's heads were cut off in the photo, and you could only see my hair in the picture. So much fun being the shortest...
Next up was Foggy Bottom. It was so cool to see the George Washington University Hospital.
After that, we headed to the Kennedy Center. On the way there, we saw The Watergate Hotel, which was nice.
Then we got to my favorite location. It was so beautiful. I got a lot of pictures of the flowers outside of the place too! The Kennedy Center was awesome!! I loved the Hall of Nations :D
We were getting pretty hungry. We walked all the way back to the Metro station and saw a food court to eat in (I think, we might've done this before the Kennedy Center). I ate what I packed and only bought a water because I somehow lost the one I brought.
The only stop after this was the World Bank, which we couldn't go into, but we got a pretty good look at the front of it.
I'd say the trip was good. And even though there were some....problems that occurred, everything and everyone was okay by the end of the journey. I hope you all tune in next time to Kendra's Great DC Adventures! :D
