Washington D.C

Washington D.C

By: Garrett Cesander

Before I moved away to the cold northeast that is Massachusetts, I lived in our great nation's capital, Washington D.C. Built from land donated by Virginia as well as Maryland and named after our first president George Washington, Washington D.C is of the most important places in the entire world is also one of the most magical. From the towering monuments dedicated to our nations glorious past or to the beautiful back bay, Washington D.C is a magical place. Looking back on all the great memories I had there I have decided that I want to eventually move back, whenever I can.
There are numerous sites to see in D.C
Our nations earlier years are decorated throughout the great city. From enormous war memorials that honors our nations soldiers that served in numerous wars to large detailed statues that show off our most famous presidents. You could go visit some of the most famous museums is the entire world, the museum of natural history for example. Many of the museums hold artifacts and famous pieces of history that can only be found in D.C. You could also visit Washington D.C's amazing park that is located in downtown. Known as the National Mall, it has hundreds of beautiful gigantic trees that overlook many ponds that are filled with the local wild life, also most of the monuments and museums are located in the area..
If site seeing isn't your fancy there is still plenty of things D.C has to offer. For one is their professional sports teams. Depending on the time of year you can experience professional football, basketball, baseball, and hockey at its finest. Each sport has an amazingly large and beautiful stadium that will offer you sport that is excitement and has plenty of trills. The last big thing D.C has to offer is the back bay. A great way to cool off to the blazing heat of the summer, the back bay offers family swimming as well as a boardwalk that will surely give you a day's worth of activities.
Getting to Washington D.C shouldn't be a problem for anyone especially from Boston. JetBlue offers weekly flights to D.C for as low as $49 on specific flights. If flying is not your cup of tea driving from Boston takes only about six hours which gives you half a day if you leave early enough. Anyways, I can't wait till I get back to Washington D.C and experience the things I used to.

    Garrett, I have to say, I really enjoyed your blog. Not only did you fit the requirements, but it brought back some old memories. You see, I went to D.C. the spring break of junior year of high school, and I loved it. I loved seeing all the buildings and memorials, being the history buff that I am. I especially loved seeing the inside of the Capitol Building, Mount Vernon, and Arlington National Cemetery. Arlington was really special because it's where my step grandfather is buried. I am looking forward to going back in the future, and net time I have a few other stops. I want to see first and foremost the White House, and the Vietnam Memorial. And if I'm lucky, I wouldn't mind seeing a Redskins game, or Ravens if I'm in Maryland. Luckily I have an uncle that lives in Maryland, so I wouldn't have to worry about a hotel, and I like driving so no airport for me. I would advise anyone with allergies that if they go during the spring, bring medicine because I forgot mine and their was a lot of pollen in the air.
