Keith’s Perspective on our Last Week in DC/Le point de vue de Keith sur notre dernière semaine à Washington

This week has been fun. On Saturday, we went to cryptography museum. It was quite boring and a super long drive to get there. I learned that the old computers were really really big. For lunch we ate at a Thai restaurant.

Introduction to Dungeons & Dragons (D&D)

Keith had to write a report for school on a topic of interest to him. We decided to post it so he can share it with the new potential players that he meets.

Dungeons and Dragons, known as D&D for short, is a strategic roleplaying game. There are a variety of things you can do in D&D.

Cette semaine était amusante. Samedi nous sommes allés à la aupiscine de marina. 

On Sunday, we went to Washington DC by car just for the day. We saw a few of the monuments, and they were kind of boring.

After the monuments, we ate at a Shake Shack close to the marina that we’re going to stay in while we’re in DC.
