I feel pretty! Oh So Pretty!

Okay, so I don't really feel pretty, but I did see West Side Story tonight. It was good...I still am not a big fan of the story line but the music was amazing.

We started off the day at the Washington Monument, and we got to see the city from a really cool view. Then we went to the American History Museum and saw a few different exhibits there, and I also bought some JFK commemorative cufflinks. So we hang out at the American History Museum for a bit, then go to the National Archives. We got to see the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, and the Bill of Rights which was really cool for a History/Poli Sci buff like me. It's just crazy that those are the documents that we are supposed to live by...whether or not we do is a different story.

Well, it is rather late and there is yet another full day tomorrow so I should go. I will leave you with this tidbit of wisdom:

"We learn from history that we learn nothing from history." -George Bernard Shaw
