This is Adrianna Smith's first historical travel information. Adrianna will leave spaces for the next person to enter what hotel you will be staying and what restaurants you will be eating at for breakfast, lunch and dinner. She will leave space for you to enter your recreational events you might attend while touring your cities.


 * Washington DC

Traveling from Dallas, Texas to Washington D.C. by air, we landed in Washington D.C. We pickup our luggage and went to rent a car. After renting the car from Hertz, Amariye drove us to our hotel. Madison, Quiana, Amariye, and I decided once we got unpack, we would go on our first tour of the city.**


 * Our first stop was the Lincoln Memorial. The Lincoln Memorial** stands at the west end of the National Mall as a neoclassical monument to the 16th President, Abbe Lincoln. The Memorial is visited by millions of visitors each year and is the site of many large public gatherings and protests. Martin Luther King, Jr. delivered his famous "I Have a Dream" speech [|to a crowd by the Lincoln Memorial in 1963].

Then we move to the National Achives. At the National Achives, we saw on exhibit the Constitution, the Declaration of Independence and the Bill of Rights. After touring the National Achives, it was time for lunch.  After lunch, we toured the United States Capitol. It is the place where the House of Representatives and the Senate conducted their meeting. We got to see the House of Representatives and the Senate in action. We also got to see where some the offices were like Congresswomen Sheila Jackson Lee from California, Congressmen John Corlyrn from Chicago, Ill., Senate from Texas. By time we finish touring the Capitol, it was time for dinner.

After having a good night rest, we toured the White House. The White House is the most recognizable building in Washington D.C. It was very exiciting to touring the White House. As we toured the White House, we learned that the White House was designed by James Hoban, an Irish-born architect in 1972. He won a competition organized by President George Washington and Secretary of State Thomas Jefferson. We did at far glance see President Obama, First Lady Michelle, and their daughters.

Our last stop was the Washington Monument. The Washington Monument was built between 1848 and 1884 as a tribute to George Washington's military leadership from 1775-1783 during the American Revolution. From the ground it look like a very tall building to us. As we got to the top, looking down seen to be a long way down to the ground.

By the time we finish our last tour, it was time for dinner. The next day was our day to have fun to do some recreational events.
