Flat Joe Goes to Washington, D.C.

Hey class, this is Joe! First of all, thank you all for your letters, they were very nice! My new buddy, Flat Joe, told me he wanted to keep in touch with you guys, so I’ll be using your class blog to tell you about our adventures!

When Flat Joe got to my apartment, he was eager to stretch his legs, so we went walking around Washington, D.C. First, we went to the Executive Office Building, where a lot of President Obama’s workers work. Flat Joe said it looks like a castle!

Flat Joe said he wanted to see where President Obama lived, so we walked next door to the White House. Did you know the White House has 132 rooms? And 35 bathrooms! That’s a big house…

Then, Flat Joe saw a big pointy thing, so we walked to it. It was the Washington Monument, which is 125 years old! It is also 555 feet tall, which is bigger than 3 of the UF Century Towers stacked on top of each other! Can you guess who the Washington Monument is named after?

After seeing a few more sights, we had to get to bed before our big trip to Seattle. Flat Joe was so tired from our adventure, I had to wake him up in the morning so we didn’t miss our airplane!

Flat Joe slid into my folder for the trip, he said it was nice and cozy. Even though he really liked Washington, D.C., Flat Joe and I were both looking forward to our next adventure in Seattle!

Flat Joe and I will send our next post from Seattle, Washington. Talk to you guys later!
