A Trip to the East Coast

As you know, I've recently come back from a trip to the east coast. Here's a review of our trip...WITH PICTURES!!!!!!!





Here are some pictures taken from the plane.




My brother and I being weird on the plane XD In one picture, I'm writing my latest story. Other than that, I spent most of the trip listening to music and hopefully not annoying the other people sitting around us.






We landed in Baltimore, and the next day we checked out the lovely Goucher College (where these pictures were taken). I absolutely loved it there. It was a beautiful campus, there were so many friendly people...and look at this flyer I found on a bulletin board:

I was actually really tempted to show up at the Doctor Who club meeting.








We then headed to Washington DC, where we visited several Smithsonian museums and other landmarks. We were there during the festival of kites, which was amazing.


We visited the Library of Congress, which I was really excited about. I mean, a giant building filled with a copy of every book? EEEEEK!!!!!!!!! However...and this just made me really sad...they don't let you handle the books if you're under sixteen. I'll be sixteen in seven months. Sigh.


This window was at the National Cathedral. The stone in the center is a piece of the moon. I just thought this was really cool.


We went to Hershey, Pennsylvania, which was alright. What really interested me was the school there...you can check it out here: http://www.mhs-pa.org/




I took these pictures in an Amish town near Lancaster, Pennsylvania. The sky was breathtakingly beautiful.


My brother was being shy here and hiding underneath my jacket...

Oh...here he is XD






The first college we actually toured was Muhlenberg. Everyone there was SUPER friendly. They have an amazing theatre program that I'm interested in looking into--especially because they perform many student-written plays!


We visited Philadelphia, which was alright, but nothing special.


Derp.






We toured Bryn Mawr College, which was BEAUTIFUL. It also looked exactly like Hogwarts, which pleased the fangirl inside of me.
Example of the Hogwarts-ness:



In addition to the beautiful campus, the academic programs at Bryn Mawr are fantastic. I had the opportunity to sit in on some classes, but didn't, due to a time conflict. However, our tour guide talked a little bit about her classes, and I was intrigued. This is definitely an awesome college!!!


A rare species of fish XD. Picture taken at the Natural History Museum of Delaware.

On our last day, we toured Goucher (sorry, no more pictures). It was an amazing college--I can't even begin to describe how much I love it.

Well, that's our trip! The next day, we flew home. We had such a great time. Thanks for having us, East Coast!
