Day 5-A picture of someplace I've been

I haven't been very many places. I haven't traveled nearly as much as I would like. My favorite place I have been though is

Washington ,DC!!!! I've been to Washington,DC twice. The city is such an amazing city to me. When I was younger I went with my dad and brothers on one of our yearly vacations. We went to many of the museums and walked by the capital and the Whitehouse. It was so cool to see. We also ate at the Hard Rock Cafe.

My second visit was in 2008 with Rashaan and the kids!

Here is a picture of us in the National Mall. You can see the captail building behind us. On the day we visited there was a bunch of rec leagues playing softball in the mall. I tried to imagine the lives these people lead. Are they congressional aids? Are they lobbyist? Are they teachers, doctors and lawyers? Some of my favorite activities in a city is to visit the places that people who live there visit. I love to sit back and observe the lives of people who live in this fantastic area that I came to visit.

I'm busy planning a return visit to Washington. Hoping to hit it next summer as a longer stay. The size of the buildings and the thought of what occurs inside them is enough to inspire anyone. The history of Washington,DC. The size and planning behind it. All of this inspires me.

One thing that inspires me each time I go someplace in America is how amazing this country we live in is. Just how many truly beatiful places that exist. It amazes me to see how in times of great people can unite and make something so great that it is recognized all over the world.

So with all that being said I am going to close with one thought. Well not so much of a thought but a statement. God Bless America, My home sweet home!
