Mitt Romney Anyone?

Day Three started with a bang.
The girls went down to Arlington National Cemetary.

The moment I walked off the Subway and on to the property I felt a sense of awe.
As the daughter of a veteran, maybe this place meant more to me than the average citizen.

Either way, it was a moment.
When you look out across a field, and for farther than an acre you are faced with the graves of people who died for YOU, it's a bit overwhelming.

I don't think it is possible for any American to view this place without the personal knowledge that those soldiers were fighting for them. Or at least they shouldn't.

Yes we saw the grave of Kennedy, of Reinquist, and of Taft, but nothnig can compare to the graves of the average men and women who's names I can't remember and might never know, but still appreciate.

The Tomb of the Unknown Soldier is a very reverent place.
Comparative to church, but somehow different.

You can almost feel the presence as the guard marches his way back and forth, honoring his fallen comrades.
I wish I had a flower to place on every grave, but I could never do that.
Instead, I hope it's enough that I understand the price these men and women paid.

After this was a luncheon at CPAC which Whitney was not a fan of. =)
Salmon is a bit difficult on an empty stomach.
Next Ali and I ventured to the job fair.
Internship anyone?
Sorry mom, I'm moving to D.C.

Next it was time for Ron Paul and Mitt Romney.

Ron needs to take a chill pill before he has a heart attack and rethink some of his "conservative" ideas.
In all, I am not a fan.

So I'm not gonna lie, I wasn't excited about Mitt speaking.
I was a McCain girl from day one, but I found myself being pretty impressed.

The crowd's response to him was amazing, and his pride in the American Government and it's courageous soldiers had everyone on their feet chanting USA!

After this we went to a Club 100 Reception, which we ditched. It was lame. =)
Then Ali and I journeyed the Red Line Metro alone to get to Urban Outfitters.
umm...FUN!
Then...wait for it, wait for it.

I WON A FREE FOOT LONG FROM SUBWAY!!
I've never won anything in my life.

I'm pumped.
My feet hurt,
and I'm going to bed.

Hunter Stevens

p.s. Fix my phone mother!! Love you =)
Tell Peepaw to be jealous, I'm rubbing elbows with his people.
