Day 5- Thursday

This was a really cool day. Lots of memories. We got to travel to Arlington, really neat place. Bought a very informative book at the gift shop there. Way too big to see all the really neat places in it, so i think the book made it alot easier for me to experience it better :) Very touching place. As were walking around you can hear the 21 gun salute going off in the background.

Ok, you sports peoples. This is where i ate lunch. Huge place all dedicated to sports. Yawn, what a boor. :) Sorry guys, not my forte but some people were going crazy about it all.

Next, we got the amazing opportunity to visit the NEWSEUM. It hasn't opened yet, will on April 11. But they wanted to kind of give the employees a taste as to what is going to be coming up really soon. It was such a neat museum dedicated to the media and it's influence in history. Now, at times i'm completely against it, but it was really neat how much influence it has. They had 8 sections of the Berlin Wall sent to them, as well as one of the guard towers from the wall. Oh, and they had the very top piece of one of the World Trade Center from 9-11. It was all jumbled but it was significant anyways. On of my favorite parts of the whole museum was this one room where they had the front page from every major country and state from that very same day. So they have to change it daily at around 4 am. Really neat to see all the different languages and what made headlines all around the world.

They had this really crazy, get this 4D movie. Yah, a 3D movie with moving chairs and water squirting things and a fan under your chair that made it feel like the storms on screen. Was pretty cool, but a little cheezy at the same time. 3D graphics were some of the best i've ever seen though.

Yes, we did have a little bit of a camera war. I so had to get him back because he was getting me left and right!

That night we went on a night tour of the monuments. It was really cool, the Korea war memorial with all the statues of soliders walking through a field looked like ghosts from afar. Sorry, my pictures of that night really didn't turn out all that well, here's a couple of the better ones.
