Hello Mr. President....(sort of)

Hello Mr. President....(sort of)



We spent Sunday walking the National Mall and surrounding monuments just taking in the awesome weather and walking up to some of the monuments and memorials. Sometime in the early afternoon while we were at the base of the Washington Monument we had seen a horse mounted officer directing anyone with an airborne kite to bring them down. Now, I know in the post 9/11 world there is plenty of room for paranoia, but this seemed a bit odd. After all, it was a beautiful day and there were plenty of kids with their parents enjoying their day. Well, sure enough not but a few moments later we heard Marine One just over the horizon. Luckily for us, we were in the right place at the right time. I watched Marine One fly right over head and land on the White House lawn just like I had seen on TV all of those times on the news. It was an interesting moment. I have a feeling that is the closest I will ever be to meeting the President.
