Where are you from?

The last couple of weeks have been amazing! After my mom and grandmother left I went to Washington D.C. for a week with my host-family. We stayed with my host-moms brother and his wife and kids. They were so nice! I had a great time in D.C. and feel so lucky that I got to go there. On Friday I even got the day off to wander around in the city by myself. Anyone who knows me knows that I LOVE walking around by myself. Just me and my iPod and I'm the happiest girl on Earth. The day I was off it was super nice weather and there was the cherry blossom festival. For those of you who haven't seen them yet, check out the photo's on Hyves. I absolutely loved seeing all the important buildings and it was just looking very nice everywhere around the city. We did a tour of The Capitol, a tour of The White House, and by myself I saw a dozen other really cool places. I even saw the president! Well.. Sort of.. I saw the presidential motorcade coming by so the president must have been in one of the cars. Not too far away :D!

Then last weekend I went with Daniela, Melina en Andrea to San Francisco. At first I wasn't all that excited because I was still blown away by the awesomeness of Washington, D.C., but when I got there it was at least just as awesome (if not more) there! I had so much fun with the girls. We're all Au Pairs on Bainbridge and we're from.. the Netherlands (me, duh), Germany (Daniela), France (Melina) and Colombia (Andrea). While we were there at least 10 or 15 people asked us where we were from and it was always funny to answer. We did a tour of San Francisco, the Golden Gate Bridge definitely being the highlight. For some reason I wasn't as excited to go there as the other girls, cause I didn't think it would be very impressive, but.. It was :). We also went to Alcatraz, which I thought was very cool. We did so many cool stuff it's too much to name it all. I dare you to watch all the 321 pictures on Hyves ;). And yeah, those were my top pick out of the 2,500 pictures in total that the four of us took. On Friday evening we went to an under-aged club. It's kind of too much here, you have a bunch of girls who work for the club "dancing" around in their underwear (or short skirts without..) and it's just disgusting. I was kind of thinking you would not actually encourage people to have sex right on the dance floor, but I guess this is America.. California.. The second night we went to a real club. MyfirsttimeusingafakeID. Shhhht! Haha, it's so convenient to have friends that are over 21 and that you sort of look like. :) It was very nice to go out again, just in a normal club, we had lots of fun.

Anyway, now I'm back again. In the middle of all of this I also had some time to finally find my amazing American boyfriend :D. Yay! Fingers crossed I'm not jinxing it by putting this on my blog, hehe. See ya! X
