Halloween Birthday Party!


Halloween Birthday Party!, originally uploaded by mdelfino.

It is fall! North Wilkesboro is decorated with Halloween ornaments. Wherever you go, you will see Jack-O-Lanterns, spiders, haystack, scarecrows, ghosts, haunted houses and witches. when it comes to celebrations, i means costumes. Yesterday, October 17, we were hosted at a friend's place to celebrate three birthdays. It was awesome! We had great fun and savored delicious American, Panamean, Brazilian and Jamaican food.

Thanksgiving in Washington DC

Since we arrived in NC, my son and I have visited some places in the US. We have traveled in NC to visit friends, go shopping, and have fun. The first out of state trip we took was to Washington, DC. It was a wonderful trip !
We left North Wilkesboro on Wednesday and returned on Sunday. The six-hour trip was great. We were six people, 4 adults and 2 children, so we rented a van and took turns driving. We stayed at a hotel and in the morning we took a shuttle to the nearest subway station. We were not confident to drive around Washington, so we took the subway to visit some monuments and museums there.
Washington DC is awesome! There are lots of museums, monuments and attractions there. http://www.thedistrict.com/
Above you can see some of them. Our friends, Carlos(from Peru), Leigh and Matthew(New Zealand), Anderson(Brazil), my son and I(Brazil) had a lot of fun!:)
