On October 11^th, 2020, Manassas Assembly held an event for colonial ghost tours in Alexandria.  A couple of different Assemblies showed up, which made the girls very happy.  The tours started off with our amazing and nice tour guide leading us to a house of spooky tales.  After that she directed us to a gelato shop.  Everyone was confused of why we were stopped at a gelato shop, until our tour guide explained a story of a girl who was burned in her wedding dress on her wedding day, and was to forever haunt the gelato shop.  After the scary story of the gelato shop, we were told stories of The Tomb Unknown Soldier of the Revolutionary War, a killing sailor who has not said his final words, and even got to learn about clothing of the colonial times!  Afterwards, we all decided to go back to the haunted gelato shop to get some spooky gelato on a rainy night, and we could’ve sworn we smelled smoke in there.  It was so much fun and really fascinating to learn about the ghost stories of Alexandria, and I hope I can learn more about them.

Attending 2 Zoom functions

On July 11^th, 2020, I logged onto Zoom and got to enjoy and support many of my Rainbow sisters at the same time.  At first, I logged on and got into the Quantico Freedom installation and got to enjoy a Frozen themed ceremony from the comfort of my own home.  Then after a little while I got another computer and logged onto another Rainbow Girl’s dance recital that was being broadcasted on Zoom.  It was so much fun to be able to watch a Rainbow Girl dance and others be installed at the same time while being able to support my Rainbow sisters under our circumstances.

Rainbow blessings at National Harbor 10/3/20-

Chloe and I saw a rainbow on the sidewalk on the way to start the baby shopping for my cousin Jacob’s baby girl. Chloe and I made a unicorn and  a teddy bear for my cousins Callie and her new baby sister coming in January. Chloe found the Dr. Seuss bear for the baby and it had the rainbow colors in it except for indigo. I found the unicorn with the rainbow stars on the feet and I made it for my cousin Callie. We ate lunch at Redstone bar. My dad took a picture of us at George Washington’s statue. One of my baby cousin’s outfits had a rainbow on it. We also found Marilyn Monroe’s face on a Pez candy dispenser.

           As Gigi’s year came to an end, she asked all of her Grand Officers to record a video of them saying what their favorite Rainbow memory was this Grand Year. Although there have been so many fun events and so many life-long memories, I would have to say that my favorite memory from this year was the Murder Mystery Charity Dinner. This event was my favorite memory because I was lucky enough to play a big role in the play. So big in fact that I was able to be crowned homecoming queen. Ironically, I found out later that night that I was playing the murderer! I thought it was very funny because the character I was playing was such a sweetheart that nobody would suspect her! The Murder Mystery Charity Dinner was definitely my favorite memory this year because I was able to have fun playing a role with many of my Rainbow sisters!
