Fifi's Travelogue Entry No. 1: Washington, D.C.

It's hard to believe, but Grant's Pad has been in operation for almost 13 years! It's had its ups and downs for sure, mostly down ever since my full time job has picked up in responsibility. But we're definitely not down for the count just yet! Moving forward, I will delegate a lot of the blog content generation to... drumroll... Fifi!

Mommy has been coaching Fifi and Lukas on writing journals for the past year, and they have gotten downright good at it; so much so that Grant's Pad will now feature their journal entries as travelogues in their own series!

For our first entry, Washington, D.C.! Original manuscript below:





Washington D.C. Trip, by Sofia Lian



Me and my family went to Washington D.C. during spring break. First, I went to Abraham Lincoln's Memorial at night. I saw Abraham Lincoln's statue there.




We also walked to Thomas Jefferson's Memorial. I didn't know that Thomas Jefferson has a statue in the memorial too.



On the third day, me and my family took a taxi to a Cherry Blossom Festival in the afternoon. we bought a dozen of crabs and watched fireworks there. The fireworks were pretty and loud.







Next, I took taxi to George Washington's house in Mount Vernon. His house looks like it is made of bricks but it is actually made of wood with paint and sand.





Last, I visited the Ford's Theater where Abraham Lincoln got shot and died. I watched a play in the theater. The play was funny because one of the men dressed and talked like a girl.






I learned a lot in Washington D.C.
