Washington, DC Memoir

During spring break of sixth grade, my family flew to Washington, DC from Minneapolis. I sat by the window on the flight and watched the tiny scenery below us. When we left the airport, we had to take the subway to our hotel. I liked the subway a lot. Most of it was underground. While we were there, we either took the subway or walked where we were going.




The thing I remember most about the subway was the day they closed three of the stations, one of which we wanted to get on at. We heard that this was because someone had jumped in front of the subway. Instead, we ended up taking a crowded bus. There was so much traffic in the city and we stopped so often, it would have been faster to walk.




Another thing I remember about the trip was all the pictures we took. My dad had figured out how to take a panorama. A panorama is where you take three pictures, all next to each other, and they are automatically stitched together. One day he took a panorama of the Washington Monument, but he must have screwed up. In the picture there are two Washington Monuments! We kept the picture anyway because it's funny and it looks real.




This was a cool trip and I will always remember it.

  1. I like how you talked about the day the subway closed. It sounded interesting. One thing I noticed is that you could've used more details about your vacation. (:

  3. The trip sounds really fun! I liked how you explained a lot about the subway, but I think you could have put Washington D.C. into detail a little bit more.
