This entry is titled, "American Pride" and it sums up my feeling after visiting Washington DC. I don't know how anyone could visit our nations capital without being filled with pride for our country. Without a doubt, I think we are fortunate to live in The United States of America. Sure, we have our problems these days. Absolutely I hope for a better future that my children can enjoy. But compared to other choices across the globe we are so lucky!
This picture was taken of us in The White House Rose Garden. My thanks to Doug Hoelscher for arranging a tour of the West Wing. My praise goes to God who kept us safe the entire trip and made everything amazing for us!
I was surprised at how small the West Wing and Oval Office were. Movies and television make it look so much bigger. It was elegant and awe inspiring nonetheless. I was also impressed with the kindness of everyone we encountered in Washington DC. I just assumed with it being a city, there would be some rudeness. On the contrary, everyone from taxi drivers, to security guards, to secret service, to waiters, to subway passengers were so polite and kind.
We left Washington DC feeling proud, and quite frankly I fell in love with the city. It was clean, polite, and even regal.
Of course, I leave politics out because there are a lot of things going on in the political arena that I don't agree with.
