Washington D.C.... The trip of a lifetime!

Last week I went on my amazing safety patrol trip to Washington D.C. It was the trip of a lifetime, and I would like to thank all of the people who contributed money donations for this trip. Ok, first of all, the first day of the trip I had to wake up at 3:45am and get ready. Then my mom and I left at about 4:00am to go pick up my friend and we drove to the mall where the buses were. The buses left at about 5:45am and were driving all day long to Washington D.C. We got at the hotel at about 8:30pm and we were all SO tired. For the next three days, we went to memorials, The Capitol, even the White House! They were all astounding, but my favorite was the Jefferson Memorial. I liked it because the people who made it put all of his writings around the statue of him on the wall. It was really inspiring, and made me want to be like Jefferson one day. The next day the patrols took a little trip to Busch Gardens, Williamsburg. It was a pretty blue-ribbon theme park, if you ask me. There were roller coasters so insane, that you were dropping straight down upside down with your feet hanging. Pretty intense, if you ask me. My favorite ride there was Der Whirlberwind, the swings ride. Anyway, overall, this was a mesmerizing trip. I saw life-changing things, and read transcendent writings. To rising (or not rising) safety patrols---this was, is, and will be one of your most stunning trips that you go on. I know it was one of mine. So enjoy it while you can. And I know you all want to see these fabulous pictures that I got/took from my trip, so here they are!:

Meeting with Congressman John Rutherford:
Note:  Just because I am with him in this picture does not mean I am FOR him.  All the Safety Patrols had to meet him in the Capitol whether we agree with his policies or not.  He did say one thing that I liked-- that in his day there were only boy safety patrols (he was one), but now they are also girl patrols and that is the right way.

I wish he didn't support Trump.
