I went to Washington D.C.

Hello, everyone. So way back in June (I know I should have had this up a long time ago) I went to Washington, D.C. I had a lot of fun there and it was quite an experience!

↠↠↠

Here we go! 

This was a picture of the capital as we came into town

Me!

Somewhere on the way to see monuments we got a cool picture of a squirrel

Day one we walked to see some monuments and I took a pic
here on the way cause this building looked important.

We walked past the capital.

I love the composure of this one. It just looks so cool.

Me in front of the capital

Sadly, we didn't get to go inside the Washington monument

 because they were doing some work on the elevator or something.

The Lincoln Memorial

I also ran into some family of mine there

On Tuesday we went to the zoo

Do you see the Chipmunk?

A bear

Some sort of large cat, I'm not quite sure what kind

Do you see it?

It's an elephant!

This is a Golden Lion Tamarin

I'm pretty sure Fennec foxes are the cutest things ever

A skunk

On Wednesday we went to the museum of American history

This was an old computer

Why do people like making yard art of my relatives?

An old tea set

I saw the original Star-Spangled Banner

Again with the statues of my relatives! 

It's like they're all celebrities except for me.

On Thursday we went on a tour of the capital

The Rotunda

Le fancy chandeliery

Later that day we went to the Air and Space museum 

and I met the Write brothers!

I made a friend and we watched the Write brothers fly a kite!

One of their planes

Friday we went to the Smithsonian gardens

A waterfall

Cacti

A Japanese gazebo thing

Cool  leaves 

Cool Vines

Another cool leaf

There were too many flower pictures to fit in 

this post so I just picked one.

I have no clue what this is but it looks cool

Ferns

A succulent

Another succulent

More cacti

Cacti, again

I think this might be the last cacti. Fun fact, I love cacti.

On Saturday we went to see the white house

On Sunday we headed back to our home sweet home

So that was my trip to Washington, D.C. I had a great time and I hope you enjoyed reading about it.

Also, I have a little announcement. When I was in D.C. I kept getting weird looks, because you don't often see a stuffed duck taking selfies. But I decided that I should make some business cards to give people who stare, and I was thinking I would have a contest to let you guys make one. All it needs is: A picture of me (from my blog or my Instagram @DelbertPhilbertRoberts) , My name, My blog url, and a little note (eg. Hi, I'm Delbert and I noticed you were watching me take pictures, that's cause I have a blog). Feel free to add something if you think it needs it. When you are done if you know me IRL you can email or text it to me, or if not you can DM it to me on instagram. Have fun!

Q&A Time!

Hello, everyone.  Today I am here with a Q&A!

What is your favorite way to travel?
I really like the bus. It's just so familiar and cozy.

What is your favorite place to stay during your travels?
Well, I like staying in hotels with great bonuses. There was one I stayed in with free popcorn in the evenings!

What is your favorite environment to travel to?
I really like mountains in general, but I also love the beach when it's warm.

What is your Hogwarts house?
I have taken a few tests and gotten both Ravenclaw and Griffindor and I feel like I kinda relate to both. So I guess I'm a Ravendor. Or a Griffinclaw.

I also decided while finding out my Hogwarts house to find my patronus, which is a weasel.

What kind of cheese is your favorite?
I'm a pretty simple guy, I like string cheese.

What is your favorite snack?
I like Swedish Fish and crackers.

What is your favorite place that you have traveled?
I had a really fun time a few years ago when I went to Colorado, and I think I would like to go somewhere like that again.

 Why did you start blogging?
I have always loved to travel, and on a small trip to our grandparents Allie's sister suggested that I should start blogging about my travels, and so I did.

Who inspires you?
Mother nature. It simply amazes me that anyone could create something so beautiful and diverse, while also being the basis of everything in this world.

So that was my Q&A! Thank you to everyone who submitted questions, I have really enjoyed doing this. Maybe I will do another in the future.

Peace out my friends

The Story of Me, part 2

Merry Christmas and Happy new year, everyone!  Happy February. I'm very late with this post.

I made it home for the Holidays, and now it is time for the second part of my story. This time it is just a collection of interesting things that have happened throughout my life.

There have been quite a few times when I have gotten lost, but Ali has always found me. One of those times I got lost in her mom's closet. I am not sure exactly what was going on but I got put in the closet and forgotten about for a little bit, I believe when I was found was either on Christmas or it was almost Christmas, I can't quite remember.

Another time I somehow got stuck in the middle of a roll of paper at The Grandparents'. I'm not sure how that happened but I ended up spending the summer in that thing cause Ali couldn't find me.

And another time I simply got left at the Grandparents', so they mailed me home with some Easter gifts for Ali and her sister. And then of course the most recent time where Ali left me at the Grandparents' and got me when they came for Christmas.

So that was pretty much it for my life stories, I will probably think of some other things to tell you about soon, but for now that's all. I still need some more Q&A questions so please ask anything you want to know!

Update

Peace out my friends
