Back again Days 1 and 2

We did all of our sight seeing yesterday, but I didnt get in my college visits. I stood for 10 minutes at a 9/11 memorial and listened while a mother explained what 9/11 was to her two twin boys, and why they never knew their father, as he died in the South tower...very heartfelt, and I waited for her to finish crying before leaving. We visited the Smithsonian after Ben's Chili Bowl and I debated my thoughts on Lincoln with the group :) Today, we saw all the heavy hitters, Paul, Bachman, Mcconnel, Rumsfeld, Chenney, Trump, LaPierre and Gingrich. The Ron Paul crowd went apeshit over chenney, calling him a war criminal and had to be removed. But I did get some internship and grad school shopping done. And I got to meet my 8th cousin and SD representative Kristy Noem and we swapped contact info (her body guards werent happy that I had ninja'd in and found her) but it was fun.
