Kickstart to My Three-Week Adventure

My 3 week trip visiting my Aunt Nancy and Uncle Jon.

The thursday morning that I left for Reagan International Airport was quick-moving. I went to bed fairly early, and before I knew it, my alarm was buzzing in my ear a "piano-riff" sound that was rather annoying (at 5:00 a.m.). I shut off my alarm, got dressed, ate breakfast, and poof. I was ready to go.

Once I got to the airport, my dad and I checked my bag in and went through security. I picked up my traditional airport McDonald's meal and I was set. I was the last to board my plane as an unaccompanied minor (or UM). I said goodbye to Dad just before I walked down the boarding gate to the airplane taking me to Minneapolis-St.Paul International Airport. The flight was two hours long, and I hadn't really processed the thought that it was actually summer, and that I was on my way to DC. I was tired, and not all the way awake yet. I followed the flight attendant to the designated "Delta's Future Million Milers" room, where there was snacks and little boxes for lunch. I sat down and texted my parents, letting them know I made it safely to Minneapolis, and that I was now waiting for my next flight. Almost two hours passed until I boarded my flight to DC. It was a long flight, but when we landed, I got this rush of excitement, because I knew that when I stepped off that plane, I whole new adventure was waiting for me. I three week adventure filled with fun and laughter. 

As I was escorted out of the gate, I saw my Aunt Nancy patiently waiting. The time had come! There was so much to see, so much shopping to do, and, not to forget, so much Starbucks to enjoy!
