Tries to remember..Washington Monument, Reflection Pool, Lincoln Memorial, White House, Supreme Court, a couple museums, and some other stuff I don't remember since that was 7 year ago lol. Wbu?

I don't remember everything either, 'cause I've been to DC three times since and I get the trips confused. We didn't really do museums in '09… we walked around to a lot of monuments and war memorials. Oh, and we went to Arlington National Cemetery. That was really, really impressive in a humbling sort of way.

5c3d80d9bf04a645711fc934afb54a80?s=128&d=mm

ZachB

I can imagine it was! I haven't been there though. I've only been to DC once.

6eaece308ed9916f6205164f3617f683?s=128&d=mm

K

Ah, okay. Well, you can't really see everything in one trip. xD What was your favorite location for Nats?

5c3d80d9bf04a645711fc934afb54a80?s=128&d=mm

ZachB

Well Texas is just awesome, and it was the best year yet, so probably last year, except that Tennessee had the best scenery in my opinion. Wbu?

6eaece308ed9916f6205164f3617f683?s=128&d=mm

K

I thought Sevierville had the best scenery too, but you're right, Texas is a pretty cool state. xD I hardly got to do any sightseeing at Nats last year, though, because I was always talking to people. :D

5c3d80d9bf04a645711fc934afb54a80?s=128&d=mm

ZachB

The only sightseeing we did was to go see the Alamo with the you-know-whos after nats was over. But the Alamo isn't much to see, and it was cold and windy and unpleasant. And after all, even scenery can't compete with talking to Bible Bee friends! ;D

6eaece308ed9916f6205164f3617f683?s=128&d=mm

K

Aw, that's kinda too bad. We did go to the Alamo, and part of the river walk, but it was dark. :P I loved seeing the Alamo though- I love history! But yeah, once you haven't seen your friends for a year… you just talk for a long time. xD

5c3d80d9bf04a645711fc934afb54a80?s=128&d=mm

ZachB

Yes, at the other hotel when we were together before nationals and supposed to be reviewing verse we spent most of the time talking. After all, how can friends not see each other for 4 years and not talk? Ah..I'm going to miss Bible Bee when its over. :p

6eaece308ed9916f6205164f3617f683?s=128&d=mm

K

Haha, I usually shut myself up the evening of registration to study… then I talk to people after prelims. xD Except in 2013 I hardly talked to anyone at all until the last day. xP You better enjoy BB now, because it always ends way too soon! ;)

5c3d80d9bf04a645711fc934afb54a80?s=128&d=mm

ZachB

Well considering we came down two days early to see them we couldn't very well lock ourselves up in our respective hotel rooms and ignore each other until after the competition, lol! We made sure we got a bunch of extra studying in before arriving in preparation for the inevitable.
You'd better be sure I'm enjoying it! If only it could last forever though lol!

6eaece308ed9916f6205164f3617f683?s=128&d=mm

K

Oh, well, I guess that wouldn't really work then. xD

Have you gone back down for the GS? (Sorry if I'm not supposed to ask that… :P Don't answer if you're not supposed to say. xP)

6eaece308ed9916f6205164f3617f683?s=128&d=mm

K

What I really mean to say is did you go down for the last GS… but maybe you're not supposed to answer… :P

6eaece308ed9916f6205164f3617f683?s=128&d=mm

K

I see. BB hasn't been very good at giving out info in a while… xP

I know, right? Last month we had to challenge ourselves to reach sixty pages, and we were still technically one post short, but now it's five days into June and we're already over sixty!

ZachB

Putting the DJ on Quizlet. Got the first week done on that, plus got all the locals passages memorized now except for 1, and got 17 verses in John 13 memorized today. Wbu?

Or Matthew. Or Rachel. Or Katrina. Or Emily. Or a whole bunch of people! ;)

5c3d80d9bf04a645711fc934afb54a80?s=128&d=mm

ZachB

Lol we're not allowed to post the DJ publicly. But you could always make a set on it yourself! ;)

I made verse cards for John 13-15, dividing the chapters up into 8 passages. I started today and my goal is to memorize 1 passage per day, so I (hopefully!) should have it all memorized in 8 days.

You'd tie your friends to a piano? Oh yea, I'll have to warn then, xD


EDIT: Bye Cory! shakes hand

6eaece308ed9916f6205164f3617f683?s=128&d=mm

K

Hey, I'm pretty sure tying me to the piano would be cruel and unusual punishment, which is unconstitutional under the 8th amendment. At least let me play it!

wants someone to tell me why I'm wrong xP

5c3d80d9bf04a645711fc934afb54a80?s=128&d=mm

ZachB

Because Cory isn't the federal government? xP

Hey, sorry about leaving suddenly yesterday night, we had to unplug everything for an outlet rewiring we're doing for a couple new outlets we're adding.

6eaece308ed9916f6205164f3617f683?s=128&d=mm

K

Ah, don't worry. I still don't think he should tie anyone to the piano, even if he isn't the federal government. :P

6eaece308ed9916f6205164f3617f683?s=128&d=mm

K

I'm really not concerned about the piano's feelings. I overwork mine and I hit the keys really hard.

6eaece308ed9916f6205164f3617f683?s=128&d=mm

K

Ah well… do you play the piano? If you don't, you can't quite understand. You see, pianos may have rights, but pianists have more. xP xP

5c3d80d9bf04a645711fc934afb54a80?s=128&d=mm

ZachB

I used to a long time ago. Hm, so kind of like American's have rights, but Trump has more rights? xP xP

6eaece308ed9916f6205164f3617f683?s=128&d=mm

K

facedesk Um… lol. xP No, it's different, because the piano isn't a person. xP xP

Oh, hi Gloria!

5c3d80d9bf04a645711fc934afb54a80?s=128&d=mm

ZachB

I'm kinda here... Sorry If i suddenly disappear on you guys. Hi! lol

Hey Gloria, how's Greece? :)

5c3d80d9bf04a645711fc934afb54a80?s=128&d=mm

ZachB

*facedesk* Um... lol. xP No, it's different, because the piano isn't a person. xP xP

Well neither is a nation. A nation is land made up of people under a government. xP xP
