March for Life

The March for Life went really well. It was a great day. My dad and I left our house at 3:15 AM, stopped at Sheetz to get something to eat for breakfast later, then went to the church. The bus left St. Joe's at 4:00AM and we showed up at the D.C. Armory around 6:15 (I'm not sure exactly what time but it was after 6 and still dark outside). We had an awesome time at the Youth Rally which included Mass and the Rosary as well as some fun praise & worship songs with 10,000 other teenagers. We then ate our lunches and headed over on the Metro to the National Mall where the March starts. Last year I deliberately left my camera at home thinking that I would have no need for a camera. I was very mistaken and very mad at myself last year. So this year I made sure to bring my camera. D.C. is such a cool city and even though we didn't go very far in the city, I got some great pictures.

Another picture of our banner:

A girl named Tess and her awesome sign:



No idea who he is, but me and my friends loved his sign and so we asked him if we could take a picture:

Another great sign:

My five best friends:



This is the original edit:

And then with this one the trees are gone! Yes I figured out how to clone stuff out of a picture! Pretty cool right?

Again, this is the original edit:

And then with the distracting sings and trees out:



Loved this sign too:

Not sure which building this is:

I had one chance while crossing the street to get a picture of all three flags and I got it!

Inside the D.C. Armory, the left side of the back:

The pictures in the Armory did not come out very well because it had terrible lighting. But I had to show how many people there were!

Love,
