A Spring Break Vacation in Washington, DC for Liberty and Grace

My name is Grace Robertson and I am in the 1st grade in Mrs. Blanchard’s class. I went to Washington D.C. with my mom and dad and my sister Hannah during spring break. I got Liberty as my patriot. When I first got there I went to the National Archives. It had beautiful art work. I also saw the three documents, the Bill of Rights, the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence. And it was the real ones. And I also went to the Natural Science Museum. It had real dinosaur bones. I also saw real animal bones.

The next day I got on some subs but not the food kind of sub and I got on the wrong ONE! I fixed that because of a map. I went to the White House. I went to the Lincoln Memorial. And I went to the art museum. It had the Thinking Man there and the famous ballerina there too. And most of all there was the portrait by Leonardo Da Vinci. And I also went to Union Station and Arlington Cemetery. I saw the tomb of Kennedy and the tomb of the Unknown Soldier.

I went to Ford's Theatre where Abe Lincoln was shot. I saw a play there and saw the real gun he was shot with and the real seat he was sitting in. I saw the coat he was wearing that night.

Then I went to the Natural Museum of American History. I saw the real Star-Spangled Banner. I went to the Supreme Court. Then I went to the Library of Congress and while I was there I saw Thomas Jefferson’s library. Some of the books were replaced but the other ones were real books.

Then I went to the Capitol. It was a beauty there I tell you! I also went to the Bureau of Printing and Engraving. One of my favorite parts there was how I could watch money being made right in front of me.

We also went to the Air and Space Museum. I saw Amelia Earhart’s plane. I went to the World War II Memorial. It was very pretty there.

Then I went to the Washington Monument. It was very high up there and very pretty up there too. And then I also went to the Jefferson Monument. It was pretty and it had a speech about “liberty” on the wall. You can see it in one of my pictures.

I thought the trip was really fun and I had a lot of adventures there, but now it was time to go home.

Liberty went home because she wanted to see Justice and Freedom.
