我第一次到华盛顿的时候是初夏那时我想我不应该再当一个孩子。至少这是他们在八年级

的毕业典礼上对我们说的。我的姐姐菲利斯在同一时间从高中毕业。我不知道她应该不再当

一个什么。但当作是送给我们俩的毕业礼物,我们全家在国庆日前往华盛顿旅游,那是传奇而

著名的我国首都。

cheaper.

这是我第一次真正意义上在白天时乘坐火车。当我还小的时候我们总是在夜晚乘坐运奶火

车去康涅狄格海岸,因为它更便宜。

学期还没结束前家里就开始忙着准备旅行的事。我们准备了两个星期。父亲拿了两个大箱子

和一个装满食物的盒子。事实上,我第一次到华盛顿的旅途可以说是一个移动盛宴一在位

子上安顿下来我就开始吃东西直到我们到了费城往后的某个地方才停下来。我记得那是费

城,是因为我们没有经过自由之钟对此我很失望。
