Washington, DC

A Place We Have Lived -2017-

What did we enjoy about this place?

Dad

I liked that there was a gym right next to where we lived, so I could go every day at 4am. I also liked that there were free fresh donuts on Sunday at the front lobby of where we lived. Lastly, I liked that we got to see the Washington Monument and other historic things anytime we wanted to.

When I was 14 I was able to take a school trip to DC and New York. I loved my trip, but wasn't able to see everything I had wanted to at that time. I was so excited to live in DC because it allowed me to see everything I had been wanting to see since I was a child. It was also an exciting time for me and my family with the new job I started and new life we were about to embark on.

I liked that I had a separate studio apartment for myself and my family was in a connecting apartment next to me. I liked that we got to go to the Holocaust Museum, as well as all the other museums. I really loved the pizza place, called Paisano's, we would order from and the chicken parm meal I would get.

I enjoyed the clear skies in the summer, although I did not really enjoy the heat in the summer. I enjoyed all the monuments that we saw. I also liked that we were close enough to go to Hershey's Park and have a fun vacation.

I liked being able to walk our neighbor's dog for money. I also liked that there was a convienance store right where we lived and I could go with my brothers to buy things. I also loved the pool that was at our community because it was very hot in DC in the summer.
