On the first night we checked in, unpacked our bags, and met our family friends Ryan and Ryan's mom, Kathy. Ryan and I have been best friends since we were little. Right after we unpacked, the four of us walked to the Lincoln memorial. My mom and I expected us to stay in the hotel and chill because we had only just gotten there, but we also wanted to look at as much monuments as possible in the time that we went.<span id="goog_1370392468"></span><br />

A gigantic statue of Lincoln himself stood before us. It was amazing (and enormous)! After that, we walked over to the Korean War Memorial.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
There were 19 statues of Korean Soldiers. Most of them were army soldiers, but some were air force and navy soldiers. The Vietnam War memorial was next on our list of things to do.</div>

After that, my mom and I headed back to our hotel while Ryan and Kathy went to an Orioles-Nationals game. I flopped down on my bed and was out-cold in five seconds. The first day was fun, but the next day was going to be even better!</div>

My mom and I woke up at 7:00AM and met Ryan and Kathy at the breakfast buffet. We took the metro to the Washington Monument. At 9:30, Kathy, Ryan and I took the elevator to the top of the monument. My mom was too scared. There were four windows to look out. Here's what I saw out of each one:</div>

The Washington Monument was my favorite monument to visit because we were so high up and we could see all the way into Maryland. It was not scary, surprisingly. We took the elevator down and looked up at where we had just been. I couldn't believe we had been up so high!<span id="goog_952550629"></span></div>

For the next part of the day, we took a trolley around Washington, D.C. and looked at all the monuments. We took the trolley to the Capitol building which was our next tour. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
At 3:00, we took a tour of the House of Representatives building. There were so many chairs in that room, and there had to be because every representative needed one. You weren't allowed to take pictures in that room, unfortunately. Next, we toured the actual Capitol building. Sadly, the Dome was under renovation so it looked like this:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Big renovation on the dome</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Our trip to the Capitol building was still really interesting. There were paintings and murals everywhere. The day was over so we took the metro back to our hotel. Again, I flopped down on my bed and was out-cold in, this time, in three seconds! I was so tired from the day of sightseeing, and I couldn't wait for tomorrow, because we were going to the U.S. Mint.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Again, we woke up early in the morning and met Ryan and Kathy down at the buffet. As quick as possible, we took the metro to the Bureau of Engraving and Printing (where they make the money). We got tickets for 9:45, and it was 8:30, so we went to the Jefferson Memorial to pass the time. </div>

The Jefferson Memorial</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Inside the memorial, there was a giant statue of Jefferson himself. He was really big and sort of scary, but cool and interesting at the same time. It was time for the Bureau, so <span style="text-align: center;">we made our way over to the doorway of the Bureau. When we got inside, we watched a short video about how the money is made, and then we got to actually see it in action! No pictures were allowed whatsoever. The money was printed, sorted, checked for defects, cut, and boxed. Then it was shipped to the banks around the country. It was really interesting to watch the money go through all sorts of processes before it was sent out. There was even a guy fanning himself with a sheet of money. The Bureau was my second favorite thing in Washington, D.C. (besides the Washington Monument), and I would go back there if I ever went back to D.C. again. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="text-align: center;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
We didn't have anything else to do that day, so we went back to the hotel and chilled out. Ryan and I made a video about Washington, D.C. That night was more relaxed, and I got a good night sleep. The next morning was relaxed too. We went down to breakfast at 9:00 and took the metro to the National Archives at 10:00.</div>

<span style="text-align: center;">The National Archives</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="text-align: center;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="text-align: center;">The National Archives is where the Constitution, the Declaration of Independence, and the Bill of Rights are kept. I couldn't take pictures because it would damage the important documents, but they were bigger then I expected them to be. They were each about four times the average sheet of paper, and they all had a lot of writing on them. I wonder how long it took for Jefferson to write the Declaration of Independence. The Archives were a very interesting thing on my trip, but I still liked the Washington Monument best. </span></div>

Ryan and I became addicted to a space trivia game. We played that for an hour straight! Ryan and I had a lot of laughs during our endless games. Unfortunately, it was time to go. It was our last day in D.C, so we decided to make it count. At 8:00PM, we took the metro back out and saw all the monuments at night.</div>

We were done with Washington, D.C. the next day. It was incredibly fun, but we had to leave. I hope you get a chance to go.<br />

She is also the one who owns <a href="http://thevoiceofroyce.blogspot.com/2012/02/over-winter-break-i-went-to-my-nanas.html">all the Christmas toys.</a> We decided to do <b>animation.</b> The animation I wanted to do is the type where you take a series of pictures that you change a minute bit in every picture, and if you click through them fast, they look like a miniature movie. My nana thought I meant the old kind of animation. In that kind, you draw pictures on a notepad and you flip through the pages fast to see a little movie.<br />
<br />
My sister, Tabby, wanted to do the old type of animation. While I set up my scene and took pictures, Nana made short notebooks for Tabby and herself. They worked for about a half hour on their projects and they turned out great! When I was finished, they said mine was excellent! Do you agree with them?<br />

In April, my good<b> </b>friend <a href="http://sammysspectacularscene.blogspot.com/">Sammy'</a>s mom, Dana, came into <a href="http://yollisclassblog.blogspot.com/">Mrs. Yollis' class</a> and conduced an art project. I know her very well! The art project was for each student to make a kite out of paper. Here are the directions, so you can make one at home.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: purple;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #741b47; font-size: x-large;">Step 1. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red;">Take a piece of paper and fold it in half. Then open the paper and make a one inch mark on each side of the paper, five inches in from the side. Put the two marks together and fold the paper back on itself on each side until the paper is flat. Tape the two sides together.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #741b47; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #741b47; font-size: large;"> </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: purple; font-size: large;"> </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: lime; font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: purple; font-size: x-large;">Step 2. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;">(optional) </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #38761d;">On the bottom of your kite, draw any design you want. You cannot see the design that I drew in the photo above. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #38761d;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;"></span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #38761d;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: purple; font-size: x-large;">Step 3. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #38761d;"> </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;">Do not worry if your kite will not stay together. Attach a wooden stick across the bottom of your kite using tape. Try not to cover your designs (step 2).</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: purple; font-size: x-large;">Step 4. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: magenta;">Collect a rainbow colored piece of fabric, and cut the inside of the end just a tiny bit. The end should be split into two pieces of fabric that are connected to one. Look in the picture above. Glue or tape one end of the cut fabric to one side of the stick-up middle part and the other end to the other side of it. You have your tail!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: magenta;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: purple; font-size: x-large;">Step 5. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #bf9000;">For your final step, punch a hole into the end without the tail on the stick-up middle flap. Tie a <b>LONG STRING </b>to the hole. The longer the string, the higher the kite can fly. Tape the other end of your string to a toilet paper role. You can ravel or unravel your string on the toilet paper role without it falling off because it is taped. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #bf9000;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #bf9000;"> </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red; font-size: large;">* </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue; font-size: large;">* </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: lime;">* </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: orange;">* </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: purple;">* </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: cyan;">*</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: purple;"> </span></span><br />

Skiing, in my opinion, is really hard at first, but then it got easier. First, Caren and I went on a small ski lift to the top of a small mountain <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">covered </span>in man-made snow. I could see my sister, Tabby, and her teacher, Debbie, skiing down the mountain that I was just about to ski down.</div>

Like I said earlier, skiing can be hard at first, so I fell a lot learning to ski.</div>

Oh no! I fell down!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The skiing mountain that I went to, Snow Summit, also had snowboarders. They fell down <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;">Way </span>more then the skiers. It was really hard getting off the ski lift, because there was a <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">huge</span> group of snowboarders at the top, who had fallen on the ground. It was hard to get past them.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Not only were there ski lifts, but there were "magic carpets." Those are like escalators, but they are flat. An escalator has stairs, but a "magic carpet" doesn't. </div>

Here we are on the "magic carpet."</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
For our last run, Caren told me that I could go to a skiing area that was a<b> mile</b> long! It was called Summit Run. It was <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;">HUGE! </span>Some of it was hard, and some of it was easy. Most of it was a green square, and some of it was a blue square.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Here is the key:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #b6d7a8; font-size: x-large;">■ </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Green square represents easy</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue; font-size: x-large;">■ </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Blue square represents medium</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">♦ Black diamond represens hard</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">♦♦ Two black diamonds represent extremely hard</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
First, we rode on a <b>gigantic </b>ski lift. When we got to the top, there was a restaurant. We didn't stop to eat. We just skied down the mountain until we got to the blue square part. We rested on the side, watching other skiers <b>zooming </b>down past us. There was even a boy with a camera!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
When we were done resting, Caren told me that I was about to go down the part of the track that was a blue square. We got back on the hill and <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;"><b>RACED</b> </span>down the mountain. The other skiers almost hit me! When we got past the blue square area, I was <b>awfully </b>tired and relived. We darted down the rest of the track, and I was so excited to see my dad, sister, and mom. </div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #783f04;">I have a lot of</span> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #783f04;">animals in my backyard.

<br />
In my Aunt Joann and Uncle Charlie's backyard, there was an amazing site! A Cooper Hawk was about to kill a woodpecker!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
You can see the Cooper Hawk. It is the <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">large</span> grey bird. The woodpecker is the <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: xx-small;">little</span> bird with a wing with yellow stripes on it. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Before the Cooper hawk could kill the woodpecker, Uncle Charlie ran towards it! </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
The Cooper Hawk decided to let go of the woodpecker and fly away!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Hooray for Uncle Charlie! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">The woodpecker was saved!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As you can see, the woodpecker has a red face. His face is not covered in blood; his face is just red in general.</div>

I saw animals and a cool math leaf. I bet you are wondering what a math leaf is. It is a leaf that has a pattern on it that has something to do with math. I will show you a picture of it soon.<br />
<br />
Usually, a covey (k∂v • ee) of quails comes to our backyard. The biggest amount of quails I have ever seen was 34 quails!<br />

<br />
Over winter break, I went to my nana’s house to celebrate
Christmas. When I got there I saw all of my nana’s Christmas toys. I
loved them when I was little, and I still love them. I sat down and started playing right
away!<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">

Soon, it was very late at night so I had to go to bed. When I woke up the next morning, I played with them from 6:00 A.M to 10:00 A.M and had so much fun! Then I had to leave to go to back to my grandmas house (that is where I had come from). I was really sad to have to leave, but I knew that I was going to come back the next week and stay for four whole days! </div>

The next week, when I returned to my nana's house, my cousin was there. We immediately started playing with all the toys. I took lots of pictures.<br />

This week I had an after school enrichment class and it was a chess class. I noticed my friend and classmate Brenden was taking the same class as me. I asked him if he wanted to come to my house and do a blog post about chess. He said, "yes." I was so happy!</div>

This is a checkmate called the rook crusher. The black king can't move up because the rook is blocking him. He can't move down because the other rook is blocking him. He can't move sideways because the queen will get him. Checkmate!</div>

<span style="color: black;">My favorite thing about blogging is how you can see
wonderful sights from other people. You can see how other people live and how
other people spend their lifetime. It also is important to not use personal information.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
