DC

I can't believe I forgot to post this...

Am back from D.C. It was extremely hot and humid, but enjoyable nonetheless. We came, we saw, we conquered. I took about 3,000 pictures and if I knew how to operate this newfangled thing called a "blog" I would post some here. Alas that I am deficient in this arena. 

Anyhizzle, there were three historical travesties that I witnessed at our nations capitol and they are listed as follows: 

1) In the entryway to the Rotunda of the National Archives rests one of four existing original copies of The Magna Carta. Everyone completely bypasses it without a backward glance.

 2) At Arlington National Cemetery there are 8 people buried there that fought in the Revolutionary War and not a single one of them is on the Persons of Interest List on their Map. What?! These people literally fought for the freedom and existence of this country and we don't get to know where they're buried.

3) On the wall in a space about 8 inches wide between two doorways at Mt. Vernon (George Washington's house) is an unlabeled plastic case containing the key to the front gates of the Bastille. Once again, everyone just glances at it (if they managed to hear the tour lady mention it) and walks on. This is the key (literally) to the start of the French Revolution and it sits idly encased upon a wall with no label. TRAVESTY!!!!!

Aside from those 3 things, it was really fun to explore all the places we went to. 

 

B-DAY FUN

My birthday has passed and it was good times. Went out with KFP and KTP to McBJ's for some berry cider and my first ever pazookie (i don't know how you spell that). It was general good times and then we popped by Borders and wreaked some havoc in the romance section. 

Today, I had lunch with my sister and Jennie at one of my favorite restaurants. It was nice. The plan from there was to meet up with my parents at 5 to go to dinner and then see "Singing in the Rain". The 'rents were late, as per usual, but we did end up going to Chi Chi's for dinner and I love their pizza. Then we headed out for the show and my parents totally pulled one over on me. It ended up that they bought tickets to Wicked and we had kick ass orchestra seats. The show was AMAZING!!!!! It was the best show I've seen. I want ever single one of Glinda's sparkly dresses. So pretty. 

Aside from all the birthday stuff, I'm almost all packed for the big trip to D.C. and I CAN'T WAIT!!!!!! As I write this I am clearing all my SD cards for my camera. YAY!!!!
