We love to Boogie (Pronounced Boooogay)

So for once I was living life instead of writing about it...but that's over. I scribbled things I wanted to write about in the back of my Mama Day book.

So on the plane ride to Denver the people had way to much fun with the intercom. Big Mike (as he was called. He was actually about 5' 2"..at most.) had like a split personality that would come on and give us orders to buckle our seat belts. Then they proceeded to sing to "Brittany in E4 since it was her birthday" we had switched seats. Britt didn't help when she started to sing happy birthday to me also. Finally when the plane landed we hear, in a creepy Darth Vader voice" Power shield has been disarmed ." Odd.

The pane ride to Washington was uneventful. But on the way home there was this teenage cheerleader and I'm assuming her kid sister, who was no older than four. The older girl was singing and dancing "We got the booty.. ooooh oooh now turn it around. (repeat)" This wouldn't have been funny or cute at all except the little girl was doing all the movements and singing the song too. Words don't do this justice.

I went to the Holocaust museum and I walked through the exhibit. I saw the wall dedicated to Anne Frank. I stared at it for a while. Then the little girl next to me said "Look Mom Anne Frank" and pointed at me. The mother proceeded to correct her. I watched a video that had survivors talking... I started to cry when a woman was telling the story of how she was standing next to her mother and they over heard the guards talking about how women with children will get gassed. So the mother runs to her other daughter and grabs her son, telling her that women with children have it easier and she couldn't do the hard labor. Right then the SS guards took her away. She made the ultimate sacrifice to her daughter. I then went into the memorial room. Candles surrounded the room and the names of all the concentration camps were on the walls. I went and lit a candle for Anne Frank and told her thanks for letting me play her. I started to ball. I have never felt such hurt over someone I didn't know. I bought her diary in hard cover. I felt like I had completed my role as Anne Frank when I left the museum.

That night we went home and watched movies I watched Casablanca but I couldn't/ didn't want to watch K-pax. (Victor Lazlo hot-hot-hot). We went to the zoo and saw the Panda's. They look like big stuffed animals, that eat. We also saw a baby elephant. Very cute!! There was protesting at DuPont circle. Fun! Fun! Dad wouldn't let me do it. He said to many people get arrested.

I went to the air and space museum and the museum of natural history. They have all kinds of interesting things ranging from red baron memorabilia to a mummy to a space ship to a Neanderthal! It is amazing.

Then Britt and I took a tour of congress...well we took a glimpse of congress and went through a lot of medal detectors! So many things were restricted. After wards we were walking over to union station and who do you thing we stand behind? Senator Liberman and his bodyguard! Which is ironic because from what I saw Liberman was big enough to take care of himself. Oh well. We walked back to dads after getting Chinese food at union station in the rain. Rain there is different from rain here. There it rains for hours, but never really pours. Its very nice.

The next day Britt and I went on the subway and there was this janitor mopping the floor and singing the blues. I wanted to stand there all day a listen to him...but I had a metro to catch! We went to the mall, four floors, 400 hundred stores, and I hated it. I thought its stupid to spend a 170 dollars on something that is designed to look old and retro and that 10,000 other people have!

On the way home there was a very cute kitty, on his collar it said "Jules Peace Live" with a peace symbol on it. I thought that was very creative send a cute kitty in the world to spread peace.

I also went to Charlottesville to see UVA and then to Williamsburg to see The College of William and Mary. Both are extremely beautiful! I get all nervous when I think about college...very nervous!

Then we went to Eastern Market on Saturday and then to eat more Chinese food. The waiter was so funny he kept trying to learn Spanish so he was repeating constantly "Me-llamo Xing" Then I flew home and watched TV with a very hot butcher who got his hand stuck in a meet grinder!
