Our Time in D.C. Day 1 & 2

Faith and I have had an amazing time in D.C., everyday we have seen and experienced something new and amazing. Our trip here started with a bang. Faith has always wanted to fly "first class", she wanted the leather seats. We flew South West and you get to chose your seats, Faith was very excited because we had an "A" ticket. Unfortunately, it was A-50, so a large group went before us. Faith was not to happy! As we boarded the plane, there was a good looking man sitting in the front row by himself. I asked if the seats were taken and told him how my daughter really wanted to sit in the front. Well, to make a long story short, they played Faith's guitar hero on her DS and they had a great time. Faith felt like a princess. When we arrived, we both ran through the airport to find Gregg, it was so nice to be together again. Our first day adventuring into D.C., we saw the Washington Monument, Lincoln Memorial, WWII Memorial, Vietnam Memorial and the White House. As you are at these places you get a sense of such overwhelming pride and I found myself choked up at times. All your life you read about these places but to see them and touch them brings on a whole new meaning.
