New York @ 11 Sept 10

这一天，也是我们美国东部之旅的最后一天。早晨，我们到了中央公园走走。吃了午餐后，我们正式离开了纽约市，来到了布洛克林市停留了数小时。可惜的是，这里并没有太多值得参观的地方。最后，我们带着依依不舍的心情，驾车穿越了路程虽短，却耗时的拥挤交通，回到了JFK 机场。快乐的时光总是很快过。就这样，我们的旅程在我们当晚12时整抵达美国西岸的家门前后正式宣告结束。

This is the last day of our US East Coast trip. In the morning, we went to Central Park for a walk. After lunch, we officially left New York City and arrived at Brooklyn City. To our slight dissapointment, there were not much places to visit around over there. At last, we spent quite some time driving back to JFK airport due to intense traffic. Enjoyable moment always wont last long. Our trip was officially ended at the moment we stood in front of our apartment in Hillsboro.

Philadelphia / New York @ 10 Sept 10

这一天的清晨，我们离开了 D.C.，驱车来到了Philadelphia。这是美国签署独立宣言的地点。我们除了参观了独立大厅外，也参观了历经沧桑的自由大钟。之后，我们再度回到了纽约。在目前纽约市最高的建筑物（帝国大楼）的顶端，我们欣赏了纽约市360度的夜景。此外，我们也到了纽约时代广场体验它夜晚的灯光璀璨。

This day, we left Washington D.C. and headed to Philadelphia. This is the important places for declariation of Independance for Uinted States. Besides visiting the Independance hall, we also visited the libery bell, which has been the symbol for various of significant events in history. In the afternoon, we went back to New York City. We were able to enjoy the beautiful 360 degree night scene of New York City from top of the Empire States Building. Besides, we also went to New York Time Square to enjoy the lively lightning.

Washington D.C. @ 09 Sept 10

这一天是在 D.C. 的最后一天，我们参观了剩下的还未参观的地点，包括了国家纪念碑，国家陵园，国家大教堂，国会大厦，国会图书馆，和周遭的政府建筑物。由于无法在五角大厦附近找到合法的旅客停车场（感觉上不允许参观），我们只能经过而无法留影。最后，我们再度回到了国会大厦，从这稍微高的地点欣赏了这里的日落景色。

This is the last day we stayed in D.C. We have went to the point of interest that we havent visited before. These places included National Memorial (Iwo Jiwa), National Cemetery, National Cathedral, U S Capitol, Library of Congress, and the government buildings at the surroundings. Since we were not able to find any legal visitor car park around Pentagon area (it seemed like not allowed to visit), we only past by and not able to take photo on that. At last, we went back to U S Capitol, which is slightly higher than the surrounding places, to view the sunset in D.C.

Washington D.C. @ 08 Sept 10

这一天，我们参观了白宫，和这里几间著名的博物馆，包括了历史馆，飞机太空馆和艺术馆。参观博物馆里所走的许多路程好多，也是我们走最多路的一天。回到了旅馆后，我们吃了在太空馆里买的太空冰淇淋。

For this day, we visited the White House, and a fewfamous museum, which included American of Natural History Museum, Air & Space Museum, and also Gallery of Art. We walked a lot in the museum, and this has become "The most-walking day" of our trip. After back to hotel, we ate the Space Ice-cream bought from the Air & Space Museum.
