Saturday was awesome! I went to Washington D.C. for the Rally to Restore Sanity (and/or Fear) and had an absolute blast. Sure waking up at 3 a.m. and then functioning fully for about 24 hours was a bit of a pain, and of course the crowded Metro thanks to all the other Rally goers. Oh, and we didn't have direction to the way back home and didn't actually get home until Sunday morning. I loved it! The signs were amazing and hilarious and the people that we met were nice and funny. I was sad that we couldn't really hear or see much of the rally itself, but we recorded it at home so it was alright. From what I saw there were only two negative groups there: the Japan is a black hole of child abduction and the guy saying we should deport every single illegal immigrant in the U.S. Yeah, those people weren't fun at all, but people were mostly laughing at them anyway (especially when the guy dressed as an alien from outer space walked over to the illegal immigrant deporter and held up a sign saying: "I'm the only alien you should be afraid of!") Twas so fun, I don't even know.
After the Rally we figured the Metro would be packed with people and we would have to wait in line forever, so we went sight-seeing. We saw the Washington Monument, the Reflecting Pool, Lincoln Memorial, the WWII Memorial, and the Vietnam Memorial. I was disappointed that we didn't see more in the area, but our feet were killing us and it was getting late. I took pictures, which I'll probably post later. One actually has me in it, though I really didn't want to be.
Needless to say, I woke late on Sunday and didn't feel like doing anything for the rest of the day. I wish I could've gone to see Rockey Horror Picture Show with some friends, but that's okay. I have Rally experience now! Woot! I can't wait to go back to D.C. next year for Senior trip! I'll actually know some (little parts) of the city and the Metro won't scare me. Awesome :)
