Celebrating 100 years of girl scouts at the capital means that there will be a lot of other girls around, like thousands. We had the honor of having one of group members win a contest for creating and original song that she got to perform for everyone. It was a girl scout cookie rap that we helped her right while trying to sell girl scout cookies. It's easy for the little girls to sell things to people because they are all cute, we instead had to use our talents and impress our costumers.
On our trip we not only got to celebrate what girl scouts has done over the years we get to visit all of the monuments that celebrate America's history. The Washington monument was closed at the time so we could only admire it from a distance. We weren't allowed to visit the president inside his very large house so we instead took a picture and attempted to count all the security guards around and on top of the building. I was the only one able to spot the snippers, who are supposed to be known for their stealth and ability to go unnoticed.
At the end of our trip we took one of those hilarious ghost tours. I don't know about my readers, but I personally do not believe in ghosts but the writer side of me thoroughly enjoyed the creativity of the people who made up some of the stories. My friends though were not so convinced that they were not real. This made is easy for me to scare them for the rest of the night, which I took full advantage of. Even though this was my third trip to Washington D.C. I thoroughly enjoyed the opportunity to meet other girls scouts from all over the world.
Life Lesson #18: When girl scouts take over a city, it will always be left cleaner when we leave than before we got there.
