Washington DC/New York

This year my parents decided to take ty and I, and my sister Chelsey and her husband Kevin to Washington DC. My mom goes there a couple times a year for work, and we decided to tag along! We decided that since we were so close to New York to also spend a few days in New York and go to a Yankees game, and see the sights. We spent 3 days in DC and saw everything we could see in those 3 days. We went to Ghettysburg for a day and learned about the battle of Ghettysburg, it was very interesting. We had a lot of fun, but did a lot of walking! It was very tiring. We flew to New York and went to a Yankee game, they played the Blue Jays and won! It was exciting game, they were down 1 with 2 out, 2 strikes in the bottom of the 9th, when the Giambino hit a homerun to win! We sat at the very top of the stadium, there was no one behind us. We all enjoyed the game, but at times I think we all fell asleep! We were so tired. After the game we were outside and saw Derek Jeter drive away in his Ford Explorer! We walked around times square, and did a 5 hour tour of Manhattan. It was very fast, but very thorough! New York is a lot like I imagined, very busy, and people honking all the time! They even have signs that say "no honking" with a fine! DC was also very cool, it was a lot different than I expected. All the museums were amazing, and the Memorials were really fascinating and cool too.
