I went to Washington

So right down the road from my home is the most powerful city in the world, Washington DC.  I went there when I was really little but it was nice to go back and see it again now that I'm all grown up.

Mommy and daddy took me to a cool hotel called The Liason that was near "The Capitol." (daddy told me not to say "Capitol Building" and he told me to use an "o" and not an "a" because he's a dork)

But the first thing we went to was "The Newseum" which had lots of exhibits about my dad's job, which seems pretty silly because if he does the job anyway then why does he have to go and see exhibits about it.  But we had fun and daddy wore his Sweden jacket.  I was a little upset that the people who work there didn't let me crawl around on the floor.

Then apparently we went to visit "The White House" and we walked around in the gardens.  But I didn't see any of that because I was taking a nap, so I guess I'll just have to take mommy and daddy's word for it.  We hung out with this guy named Boni who seemed to know mom and dad.  I do remember going to a big museum after the garden-tour.. they had lots of exhibits about fish and animals there, and a big old diamond too.


We stayed in Washington until Sunday, and Sunday morning we went and met some other people that I had not met before.  Their names were Leonardo and Melitta and they had a little boy named Tancredi, which seems like an unusual name to me, but then again my name is actually Sakineh so who am I to talk.  Also I couldn't understand what in the world he was saying.. it wasn't like how my dad talks and it definitely wasn't like my mom talks.  I hope his parents can understand him.  I was feeling really shy around him because he was really cute..

Nina,
Mommy & Daddy were lying to you about the White House Garden Tour. If you look closely at the photo of you 3 in front of the "White House", you can clearly tell it's just a fake backdrop. They have those all over the place in DC- they also have ones with giant bottles of Hennessy and Pimped Out Cars and Trucks.
Real nice Mommy & Daddy- lying to her like that! Seriously, could you have had nicer weather?!

xoxo,
