I had a super great time in Washington D. C. from April 9 to April 11. I was moved many places. There were many beautiful buildings, historical statues and wonderful museums. I felt Washington D. C. is one of the most important cities in America.
For one thing, there are many beautiful buildings in Washington D. C. White House is where the American president house. This is very big house. There are 6 floors, 132 rooms, 5 elevators and 32 bathrooms. I was very surprised when I heard this information. I thought I want to live there. Another surprising thing was a raccoon, an alligator, a cow, a goose and a goat live there. I felt as if it were a zoo. Next, the U. S. Capital was interesting to me. The Capital completed in 1830. The weighs are of the dome 9,000,000 pounds. It is very big white Capital. There is the statue on top of a bilding but I couldn't see it was too small. The Capital's symbol is a statue of freedom. I thought this Capital is the American symbol. Finally, I visited Mount Vernon. This is house of George Washington and Martha Washington. Mount Vernon has increased in the size from 6 rooms to 21 rooms. I was impressed with the 2 tombs of George and Martha. I felt they still live in the Mount Vernon. These places were very wonderful.

Secondly, there are many Historical Statues in Washington D. C. Lincoln Memorial was very big place. The height of his statue is 19 feet high (about 6 meter). I thought about why heclenches only his left hand. My favorite spot is where Martin Luther King Jr. gave a speech. This place was a superb view. Next Jefferson Memorial was interesting to me. Jefferson Memorial was finished in 1943. He designed the memorial by himself. I thought he is a great person. The area around this memorial was very beautiful, because there are many Japanese cherry blossoms. I felt there are lovely. Finally, I visited Arlington. This place was very silence. The first time anyone was buried here was on May 13, 1864, during the Civil War. I felt sad. There were about 290,000 graves. I was overpowered. John F Kennedy visited there. Then, he said "I could stay here forever", so his grave was very gorgeous. I learned many important things about the historical statues in Washington D. C.
Thirdly, the Smithsonian Institution is wonderful. Air and Space Museum was very exciting to me.Amelia Earhart's plane was there. Apollo 11 was touched my heart. John Glenn's space suits was there too. Next, the National Gallery of Art was very beautiful. One of my favorite paintings was Da Vinci's picture. Many paintings by Monet, Rembrandt and O'Keeffee were on the walls. The Museum of Natural History was marvelous. I thought it was the insect zoo. There were fossils from the Ice Age. I was surprised. Dinosaurs were very forceful, but attract the interest of me. The Smithsonian Institution became one of my favorite place.
This experience became an amazing memory for me. I want to know more about Washington D. C. My East Coast Trip was marvelous.
