We all got up at 8 am (which is 5 am in Seattle.) and got ready for the day. We had breakfeast of course and walked out the door at about 9:00 and started driving. We got to the parking lot but it was full so we looked around the indoor parking lot and we still didn't find a parking spot. So then we parked at a shopping center parking lot. Then we walked all the way to the Metro. (And when we were walking my legs turning into ice!) But we finally got there and got our Metro tickets and got on the Metro.
We got off next to the Washington Monument. And we saw 10,000 port-a-pottys. It was about 11:25 and we had a tour of the Washington Monument at 11:45. So we decided not to go on the tour of the Monument, instead we went to the Museum of American History. We saw a lot of things like:
The Star Spangled Banner flag. (And it was falling apart, and you couldn't take pictures of the flag but it was really big.)
The Ruby Slippers that they used in the Wizard of Oz. (The actuall ones.)
C3po that they used for Return of the Jedi.
Kermit from the Muppets.
Oscar the Grouch.
Some of Thomas Edison's notebooks.
And lots and lots more things.
Then we went to have lunch. And after that we went to the Museum of Natural History. And we saw lots of things like:
Dinosoaur bones. 
The "Cursed" Hope Diamond. (The biggest diamond in the world.) But only the owner gets cursed with bad luck.
Then we saw lots of gems and minerals, which were very cool.
And then we left the museum and walked back to the Metro and hopped on and got off at our stop. Then we had to walk to the shopping center, and when we got there our car wasn't there! So we went into Safeway and they said our car got towed. So we called the people who we were staying with and then they came and picked us up exept for my dad, cause he went to get the car. we got home and my dad came home shortly after us and then we had dinner and went to bed.
