1-READ THE FREAKIN SIGNS!

2-TRAIN YOUR FREAKING CHILDREN!

3-IF YOU DONT CHOSE TO FOLLOW OUR RULES GO BACK TO YOUR COUNTRY!

Ok, so yesterday i went to visit the beautiful cherry blossoms of DC and visit some of the monumnets.  Thinking what a relaxing day this would be….i was shortly proven wrong!  I come from a very military family background.  For instance: Tree wrote in to the local newspaper of Colorado Springs….a huge military city seeing as the Air Force Academy is there, about a topic our family feels strongly about.  The correct way to display the American Flag.  Now, its one thing to rant about a subject that you dont follow through on, but at our house my dad dug a hole in the ground and wired a light on a timer with a glass cover so that every evening at dusk a light will shine form the ground up eluminating our flag at our house.  If it snows, Dad will get up and shovel off the glass top so that the light can still shine through!  So sister wrote in about large companies and other houses leaving their flags out overnight without a light….its a matter of respect.

So…back to the first story.  Went to DC for the blossoms.  There is plenty of information booths about the blossoms and how NOT TO PULL THEM OFF THE TREES! If everyone that visited the blossoms pulled down a clump of the flowers, there wouldn’t be any left the day after!  So i’m  pissed off that people are running around with all these bundles in their hands and look over to this guy viciously shaking a weak tree limb to get the flowers to fall on his girlfriend for a picture.! AHHHH!! seriously? SERIOUSLY??

Then we head on over to the beautiful FDR memorial.  I love this memorial because of the way it is so beautifuly constructed and if you look deeper, the way the waterfalls are positioned match the theme of the terms and each room…ect.  I really like it.  EXCEPT!!!!!!!!!!! for the dumb ass tourists who are letting their child climb on the head of the FDR statue.  (The end one with him and his dog).  The child climbed on the back of his chair to his shoulders to his head.  Mother standing below with her arms reached up to catch her kid from falling while he attempted to try and STAND on his head.  

Now i dont know about you, but if my parents we any where near me with their arms reached out while i was climbing on FDR’s head it would have been to reach out and beat my ass red! I could not believe that they thought it was cute and funny!! Its a memorial not a disney world statue! UGH!

ok…venting over……..back to work! (like thats any better)
