Josh's Last Full Day

Greetings! Today was yet another good day indeed. We started this morning by going to Ford's Theatre. You know, the place where Lincoln was shot? Yeah, that place. We listened to a presentation a park ranger gave about the assassination. After that, we all traveled on the Old Town Trolley, a tour trolley that takes you to many places. Like Missouri! (just kidding) Seriously though, we saw places like the FDR Memorial and the Lincoln Memorial before we ate lunch at QDoba. It's a place where hungry people go to fill themselves up with burritos and such. 

After lunch, the team hopped back on the trolley and headed to Arlington. John, Josh, and I all went walking around the cemetery and saw JFK's (John F. Kennedy's) eternal flame, which was really moving. But perhaps my favorite part was seeing the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier and scoping out the exchanging of the guard. I was moved to see all of that happen that even I was at a loss for words. (no one saw that coming) After we came back from Arlington, we rode a different trolley from the same company around to a different part of the city and saw places like Georgetown, the National Cathedral, and went by all the embassies and theaters. 

For dinner, we went to a Chinese place. Yuck! (obviously I'm not a fan of Chinese) We took about half an hour to make a decision on where we were going to eat, but thankfully we ended up on a consensus. An interesting event happened while we were eating. I ordered a Kung Pao chikcen, and John ordered a General Tso's chicken. We decided to ordered the most interesting sounding entrees. Knowing my luck, everybody's food looked pretty good except for mine. I tried it and I was correct by assuming it was not tasty. So John, the nice guy he is, traded plates with me and his wasn't as bad as mine. After thinking I lost some "man-points," I was dared to eat this pepper that Melissa said that's used for making pepper spray. I ate it. And let me tell you, it was as hot as a beach on the sun with some lava being poured down your throat. Kendra said I earned an extreme, 1,000 man points! Very nice! 

Well, I'm sorry this one isn't very comical/interesting. Well, maybe it was!? You should probably post some comments..... Bye!
