STAY OFF THE GRASS!!!!
I forgot to tell you about the White House Garden Tour that we went on today. I got tickets from another intern and me and 3 of my roommates went. It was beautiful outside and the perfect day to walk through the gardens at the white house. It was really cool we got to walk on the grounds and see all the trees that old Presidents have planted and we got to see the outside of the oval office and the West Wing. It was great! We got a ton of good pictures which I put one of them up on here, but the other will come soon. It was a great thing to do on a Sunday afternoon. We just could not step on the grass there were a ton of police officers and security everywhere and they would basically tackle you if you were on the grass, but don’t worry I took a picture of my touching the grass before they tackled me. ;) Well I just wanted to update ya’ll on that before I forgot again. Tomorrow is back to work and back to just sitting and waiting basically! Until next time….
Transformers!!!!!!
Well the other day after I wrote that last post we went walking to the Abraham Lincoln Memorial where we heard that the Transformers 3 people would be filming that night. This was after I had been sitting in front of the Capitol for about an hour in front of trucks and buses waiting to see if they would start filming. But then me and a group went to Abe. There were a ton of people there and they were filming background images for a fight scene between the robots. It was really awesome getting to see the set up. AND the best part was that I got to see and take pictures with one of the main stars in the movie. JOSH DUHAMEL! It was awesome and we were so excited after that the 2 miles home was a breeze! After that nothing really too exciting has been going on at work or the Tech house. It has just kind of been a normal week. Everyone is just kind of getting prepared for the elections in a few weeks and waiting to see what happens.Until next time..
PHILLY!!! and work..
Well this past week and a half have really slowed down a lot. Besides a trip to Philadelphia which i will talk about at the end. Well since I last left you Congress has gone out of session and not many people are around. The Tech House did get the change to meet Congressman Thornberry and Congressman Neugebauer and took pictures with them in Statuary Hall. It was really nice! Also last week I got to help Congressman Thornberry's office where one of our other interns works with giving tours to about 150 veterans. It was great I loved being able to visit with them and they were so excited that I was from Texas Tech and was up here working. It was the highlight of my week for sure! This last weekend about 10 of my roommates and me went to Philadelphia for the long weekend. It was great definitely cool to see the Liberty Bell and Independence Hall, but it definitely made me appreciate living in DC and Texas. The weekend was great though getting out of DC and to a new place. The next few weekends will be fun getting caught up on DC stuff though more museums and areas to go too. I am really excited because this weekend I found out that my parents are coming to DC to visit and my sister had her baby 3 weeks early!! Jonah Edward Bryant coming in at a whopping 7 lbs 4oz. He is doing fantastic and so is Alyssa. They got to go home today! It was great I was just getting back to the hotel when I got the phone call and was in the elevator with one of my roommates and immediately started crying when she told me she was on her way to the hospital and it was funny to see some of the people's reaction to me. I am so excited and can't wait to see him! Also this week the TRANSFORMERS 3 is filming in DC and around the National Mall Area! We are so excited and hopefully will get a peak at some of the actors. We have seen the trailers and everything coming in, but we are planning on going and checking it out tonight. I will let you know how it goes! I am still doing wonderful and feeling great! Until next time..
