bigger and betterly

Last weekend (not the one that just past but the one before that) i packed up my bags and headed to dc for a mini cruise reunion...boy did we have fun!!!

anne marie picked me up thursday night and we were off...the drive down took a little longer than we thought thanks to some unexpected traffic...we got to see a double rainbow which was awesome...and we ended up getting to laura's house around 1130...so not to bad..chrissy was already there so we wasted no time getting down to business watching backstreet boys via good ol' vhs tapes...haha!...this is us concert, 30 different qpg performances and an awesome fox kids commercial break special later it was after 3 am and time for sleeping...

Friday morning we got up and headed into the city...we walked around a little and went to the air and space museum...they had an exhibit of the first airplanes which was pretty cool...and i loved all the space stuff...

After that we headed to the american history museum...loved the flag exhibit..i spent a lot of time in there reading oll the facts...i found it very interesting...sorry for holding the rest of you up...haha!...our favorite exhibit in this museum was the one with all the old toys to play with...they had mr potato head and slinkys and etch a sketch...it was great!...they also had big white boards with a sign to draw your own superhero comic strip...most people just wrote things like "ashley was here" or "go team"...but not me...i followed the rules...i drew the super backstreet boys!!!...nick was a ninja!!!...hahaha!!!!

After that we ate dinner and went to pick up little sis from the airport...yes she flew from jersey to dc...whats it to ya?!..haha!...anyway...after retrieving little sis we went back to lauras place and watched more old school videos...and we had backstreet dance class...everyone got A++ one level one shape of my heart!...haha!...we also worked on bigger and i want it that way...i think everyone got those down pretty well...good job girls!...next time we have to tackle something a little more difficult!!!...im pretty sure we called it a night around 4...haha!

On saturday we were off to a late start but thats okay...we went into dc again...this time we went to the capitol and took a tour there...that was pretty interesting...then we strolled around a little...ate lunch...ate gellato...mmm, gellato!...then we walked toward the white house...we saw that from a far...next we took a break and sat on a bench in the shade...it was very very hot so we def needed the break...haha!!!...after sitting on for a little bit we made little sis entertain us...she did cartwheels and handstands and straddle jumps...i joined in and did some turns...then we all joined in and did the bigger dance...yeah, that happened!!...haha!!!

after dance time we got up and walked around some more...we saw the washington monument and the lincoln memorial and the jefferson memorial...and then we found our way to the museum of natural history...my favorite exhibit there was the gem stones and rocks and stuff...its so fascinating to me...

next we made our way back to suburbia...went to dinner...then made our way to karaoke!!!...omg! this was so much fun....we got a private room and only sang backstreet boys songs...we had the room for an hour but it felt like 10 minutes...our backstreet dance class from the night before came in handy...there was 5 of us so obviously we were each a different boy...i was howie...i didnt have many parts...so i got really excited when one came up!...haha!!!...the only problem with karaoke was some of the words we wrong..."drying out my battery is low"...really? youre drying out?!...haha!...well, one thing is for sure...we have to go to karaoke again!!!!

that night we went back to laura's and watched some more videos...obvi...we ended up watching crusie videos on youtube..."they did play differently" "no, we played betterly!"....hahaha!!!...and thats all i really have to say about those videos...haha!!...it was an early night for us...we went to sleep around 2:30...haha!!

sunday was our last day there...we went to georgetown,,,the original plan was to go to georgetown cupcakes and to explore georgetown some...we got there and it was so freaking hot that we decided to just get the cupcakes!!...haha!!...mmmm...that was a great decision because those cupcakes were delish!!!...after we got the cupcakes we went to lunch...and then we ate the cupcakes...i cant stress enough how good they were...im so glad we got extras to bring home!!!...haha!!!
