Colombus Day Weekend

So for the long weekend my dad, my Grandma and her husband Jack came to DC. It was a lot of fun! We also saw Jack's daughter and her husband.

We went to alot of museums around DC. We went to the national gallery of art, the National Archives, the American Indian museum (twice) and I think a few more. I LOVED the American Indian museum, I think it's one of the best in DC. It's really new and physically it's amazing, as well as everything in it. Going to the National Archives was really cool too because I got to see the documents that we're studying, like the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence. I don't think I would have appreciated seeing them as much if I hadn't known alot about them.

I loved spending time with my family and I was glad to see them. Now I'm at the house and all at home :)

P.S. I need to vent for a second...Columbus day should NOT be a holiday. Columbus was a horrible guy who tortured and killed thousands of Native Americans and did not discover America, Native Americans were already here! He should not be celebrated because by celebrating him we're saying that what he did was ok, and it wasn't..... I so needed to vent about that.
