My East Coast Trip to Washington, DC and New York City 1 Year Ago

On August 13 to August 22, 2012, I went on a trip to the East Coast for the very first time! I was very excited to see my older sister and see the sights and sounds of both Washington, DC and New York City!

Here are some of the pictures that my sister and I took while I was there.

First off, while I was in DC, I took in the sights of the national monuments at night.

Such as the Washington Monument,




The World War II Memorial,



The Lincoln Memorial,



The Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorial,





The Franklin Delano Roosevelt Memorial,



And The Jefferson Memorial.



During the day, I went to a bunch of museums near and throughout the National Mall and Downtown DC. Most of these museums that I went to are part of the Smithsonian Institution.

Such as the Air and Space Museum,

 

The Main Library,



And The Natural History Museum



Just to see the Hope Diamond.



I even got the chance to tour the White House with some of my sister's friends. Sadly, my older sister didn't go on the tour because of her name misconception. Anyway, here are some pictures from the tour:



Now it's off to New York City for the weekend! Start spreading the news!



First off, my sister and I took the ferry



to check out and see the Statue of Liberty.




I even pose as Lady Liberty herself!



We also went to Ellis Island



And we end the day with a night out on the town.



The next day we went to Central Park!

 

We have so much fun rowing the boat for the first time!



We end the day by seeing a very good off-Broadway show called Clybourne Park



And we capped off with another night out on the town.



Overall, if I were to rank this trip out of 10, I would give this trip a perfect score! I really love it! I would love to come back to the East Coast again. Thanks to Tracy, my older sister, and my mother for making this happen! I truly appreciate it!
