dc with dad

by max

we are on vacation, and the first two nights, we were in washington, dc. we went to a ton of  places, like the lincoln and jefferson memorials, the washington monument, the white house, the supreme court, and the capitol.

 

 

however, my favorite place was the united states botanic garden. henry was super cranky and had to go take nap (yay!) and liam didn't want to walk  anymore, so after lunch, they went back to the hotel with mom. dad and i decided to walk to the botanic garden. i thought it would be like my garden at home, but bigger with more plants, but it was not at all what i thought it would be. it was like a giant greenhouse with different sections, like jungle and world deserts. dad and i went in and we thought it was so cool. we went to this cool lime tree and we found some bananas.

then we went to the hawaii section, and we saw this weird tree that looked like a japanese maple but it was blue.

we went to the orchids section, and it was so cool. there was a white-trunked tree across the middle of the room, and it had lots of orchids growing on it. we saw one awesome-looking flower that was purple, pink, and white.

next we went to the world deserts section, and there were so many cacti. I liked the cactus with red thorns and the one that looked like spaghetti.

after that we went to the jungle section. it had giant trees and crazy vines and streams.

 

then we went to the outside garden and there were a lot of plants we could plant in plymouth. and that was the end our visit to the botanic garden. this was my favorite part of our trip to washington, dc.
