So... First off I hate United Airlines. They delayed my flight there AND my flight back. And both times it was because of plane malfunctions that needed fixing. Yeahhhh. I have no more faith in them. We arrived three hours late on the first day due to delays and didn't get to do anything.
Day two... *digs out journal* The weather report said there would be a storm, but it didn't happen. We visited Jamestown. I like Jamestown. Or rather, I like the Native American part of Jamestown and I like the ships. The actual town is kinda boring. And they have chickens running around all over the place. I held a musketball. They're HUGE. And heavy too. I petted river otter fur which is amazingly soft.
Then we visited Williamsburg. My advice to people is go to Williamsburg. Go there, but DO NOT TAKE A GUIDED TOUR. I've been there twice, and I learned a lot the first time and had fun doing it whereas this time I learned nothing and had a really bad guide. >_<
Day three we did a lot of walking. We saw a lot of memorials. They drained the reflecting pool. This annoys me. I learned the most that day from some tv I watched in my room about the history behind Robin Hood.
On day four we visited Arlington cemetery. We saw the changing of the guard. Then we visited mount Vernon, which was Washington's house.
Day 5 we visited Gettysburg. Gettysburg is a few large hills with lots of rocks and trees and monuments scattered all over the place. I learned that the general for the southern confederacy disagreed with the south in all ways politically and joined the southern army only because his home state, Virginia, was part of the confederacy.
Last day, I visited the Smithsonian Natural history museum and I visited the Holocaust Memorial museum. Both were interesting, but the Holocaust museum was mentally scarring, and very creepy. The natural History museum was the best museum I have ever been to.

Oh yeah. And on the airplane trips I got very good at drawing Sanji and kinda learned to draw Zoro.

Nice, ... I want to go a trip like that but only if my friends go with me, or else it wouldn't be as fun.

And congrats on learning how to draw Sanji and Zoro. For sharing that info with us, you must now submit your drawings in the form of a post.
