I’ve seen it so many times on television that it felt like I had been there before. When I saw it on TV, however, there wasn’t a huge crowd of rude tourists pushing me around. Aren’t elevators for strollers and the aged? You wouldn’t know it from the twenty people who pushed themselves in front of our stroller.

The National Mall needs crowd control, more benches and food vendors. Disney should be in charge of The National Mall. They understand how to handle impolite tourists.

I saw the rain this morning and thought it would be cold. I keep forgetting that the rest of the world isn’t the same as Utah. Rain means hot and mugging in D. C. I imagine that I can predict the weather, but it turns out that I can only predict weather in SLC.
