Washington D.C.

So the adventure continues. Saturday April 14th, 2007 Devon and DJ went to Washington D.C. for the Annual Cherry Blossom Festival Parade.

It was a little chilly and overcast with a bit of rain but they still made the most of it.

The parade was incredible. They had floats, marching bands, military units, advertiser floats like Target and Southwest airlines, and a special appearance by Mickey and Minnie Mouse dress in traditional Japanese Kimonos. DJ had just gotten his cast of his left arm so he was a trooper even though he was a bit stiff.


Devon and DJ got to see just a few parts of Washington DC and are going back to visit soon. They are in the process of helping writing Where Was I? Washington D.C. and there is so much more to see. They were able to see the Washington monument, the Lincoln Memorial, the War Memorial, drove by the White House and even had a chance to have eat dim sum in China Town.



Devon also had a chance to stand in the area where Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. gave his historical "I Have A Dream" address.

DJ Wanted to see George Washington in the parade and low and behold we saw a whole troop of George Washington's marching in the parade.


It was a fun day in Washington DC and Devon and DJ can't wait to get back down to DC and finish the book. Maybe they can even get a tour of the White House next time. If you plan to go yourself just be sure to to wear good shoes to walk in. You'll be doing a lot of that.
