Things I learned in Washington D.C.

I know it's a little late seeing as I went to Washington a month ago, but whatever. You people have nothing better to do and I'm lazy. Enjoy.

1. Nine hours in the car is a v. long time.
2. Disturbing of the cherry blossoms is prohibited. We must be respectful of the cherry blossoms.
3. Your camera will always die just before you get to anything you really want a picture of.
4. Pedestrians do not have the right of way/beware of fast-moving tour buses.
5. There is alot of naked-ness going on in Washington architecture.
6. Your mother will not appreciate you taking a close-up picture of naked male statues. It was a joke, mom!
7. No matter how many times you try, the people in business suits will not smile back. This actually applies to pretty much everyone who lives in D.C.
8. Giant brass statues are very impressive when coupled with copious amounts of marble.
9. Washington D.C. is not a part of Virginia or Maryland. It is it's own district. Hence, District of Columbia. By the way, it was a random smiling short-wearing passer-by who told us this. It not a guy in a suit. Politicians really are useless.
10. Cafeteria food is gross, no matter what state, or district, you're in.
11. It is possible to fall asleep while standing.
12. Apparently, there is a Orthodox Jew Day at the Smithsonian in the end of April. So many frontlets...Actually, I'm just guessing that those curls that they wear are called that.
13. Abraham Lincoln looks kind of sad up there on his chair. Poor Abe.
14. If the most annoying kid in the group is left behind at the Smithsonian, no one will appreciate you're opinion that God is trying to tell you something/survival of the fittest.
15. If you tour guide has completely painted-on eyebrows, chances are you are in for a v. long slightly bizarre tour. Especially when said eyebrows are not the same shape.
16. If you want to be mocked behind your back, try to tell a bunch of teenager something intelligent that may better their lives.
17. Standing in a parking spot does not count as saving it. People will try to run you over.
18. Road trips can be fun. They can can also make you contemplate murder. And possibly suicide.
19. Virginia have very big malls.
20. Silence can be v. moving i.e. changing of the guards.
21. Everyone and their mom has a statue.
22. After walking all day, if someone says the bus got towed, resist the urge to laugh. They probably won't be joking.
23. If you leave your cell phone at one of the many security checks, the guards there will very helpfully call your mommy.
24. New Jersey traffic does not necessarily just apply to New Jersey. Ditto with New York.
25. Founding Fathers were v. smart. Most of the time.
26. I like using v. Makes me feel witty.

That last one I didn't actually learn in Washington. I learned it just now.
