Our Trip to New York and DC

Well, we just got back from our trip to New York and DC, which was pretty fun. It was very hot and humid which required us to drink lots of water to keep hydrated. This in turn caused me to find a bathroom every hour pretty much. We experienced some of our firsts. We decided to take a late flight in JFK and then drive the 4 to 5 hours to DC where Joe drove the whole night. Then we slept in our car (very uncomfortable) because I was too cheap to stay in a hotel. Lets just say by the next night we were out by 7:30pm!! We went to a lot of the monuments and some museums. I experienced in New York my first time the subway and that was an experience all by itself. One day we were just waiting for our train to arrive and this guy just gets up and starts this chant or prayer thing in Spanish and it didn't just go for like a minute. This guy went on for like 5 minutes. In New York we went to Phantom of the Opera and did some shopping and saw a few site. We did a lot of walking this trip, but we had a good time.

Us in Toys R Us which was so big, they put a ferris wheel inside it!
Joe looking a little scared about the big dinosaur. I dont think he knew it was fake.


Us at the statue of liberty in which we climbed 154 steps or something like that. But waited 45 minutes to do.
Joe in Toys-R-Us with T-rex which was way cool. It moved and made noises...if I was a kid I would be scared.

We went paddle boating around the Jefferson Monument which was a lot of fun, but a lot harder than last time I went maybe because my belly was in the way which made it harder to paddle.
Here is Joe drinking water at the Washington Monument. We had to stay hydrated!

Here is us at Lincoln statue (now remember we had not even showered this morning, because we had slept in the car, that is why we look so good). We did brush our teeth and wash our face in an IHOP bathroom.
