CPAC Day 3

Today seemed like the longest day I have had in a while. The girls woke up early to head out to Arlington Cemetery. I have to say it is unlike anything you see on postcards or pictures. When you see the tombs stretched out for miles it looks it makes you gain a whole new respect for the men and women that fight for our country everyday. Those people are true heroes and deserve so much respect. We walked around to Kennedy's grave site, and then we saw Justice Marshall, and Chief Justice Rehnquist graves also. I have to see although this may seem a bit morbid I felt honored to be there. To be among some of the greatest men to ever live and stand for our country was an honor to me.

Then we headed to CPAC to attend the Phillips Student Luncheon with Thomas Blankley. I could try to tell you everything he said, but it took me a while to focus after I had to eat salmon. I have a strange fear of fish and eating fish, and I definitely had to just pretend it was chicken. He spoke of what is needed in a presidential candidate and his two main points was principles and coalitions. I completely agree with this but often today it's hard to tell when someone truly has principles. After the luncheon we headed in line for the job fair. As we were standing in line Allie felt someone grab her and although she was a little mad at first when she realized it was Stephen Baldwin it was suddenly okay. This prompted us to come back to the job fair later so we could go get a picture with Baldwin. We were not completely distracted by skipping out at first on the job fair, because we did go back later and there really was not that much information there. The last task of the day was to see Karl Rove at a dinner, well it really was not a dinner and there was no Karl Rove, so it was time for us to call it a day and head home to rest up for our last day at CPAC. :(
