La Casa Blanca

So, my passport still never came. Therefore, we had to travel all the way to Washington, D.C., this great nation's capital, in order to stand in a long line of people to figure out why I never got it. We arrived at 6:45 a.m. The line was already about 50 people long, and the agency did not open until 8:00 a.m. Coffee and cinnamon rolls helped us survive in line. After 2 hours we finally got to see someone, and she said, "Oh, your passport has already been sent out. FedEx has it, and I can't stop FedEx." Our trip to D.C. was pointless at this point. But then, hey, I've never ever been to D.C., so we decided to turn it into a little vacation and do some sight-seeing. We saw the White House (my future humble abode), the Washington Memorial, the Smithsonian, and a bunch of other stuff. It was absolutely gorgeous, and today I fell in love with the city. Maybe there was a reason we randomly had to visit...

Well, the next couple days are going to fly by. I can't believe Spain has come so quick!!! I still have lots to do, and for a non-procrastinator, I have procrastinated packing a lot. Oops!!!

I think this post deserves a couple quotes to close from my favorite person (haha).

"It is white." — President Bush after being asked by a child in Britain what the White House was like, July 19, 2001

"People say, how can I help on this war against terror? How can I fight evil? You can do so by mentoring a child; by going into a shut-in's house and say I love you." —President Bush, Washington, D.C., Sept. 19, 2002

"See, free nations are peaceful nations. Free nations don't attack each other. Free nations don't develop weapons of mass destruction." —President Bush, Milwaukee, Wis., Oct. 3, 2003

"The most important thing is for us to find Osama bin Laden. It is our number one priority and we will not rest until we find him." —President Bush, Washington, D.C., Sept. 13, 2001

"I don't know where bin Laden is. I have no idea and really don't care. It's not that important. It's not our priority." —President Bush, Washington, D.C., March 13, 2002

"Our enemies are innovative and resourceful, and so are we. They never stop thinking about new ways to harm our country and our people, and neither do we." —President Bush, Washington, D.C., Aug. 5, 2004
