My happiest place on earth is NOT Disney World, but rather Washington, D.C.. I love everything about the city... the fact that you can walk anywhere, the sunsets, the memorials to the giants of our past and the hope of our future, the homage that is paid to those who fight and serve our country, the beauty of Old Glory snapping in the wind, the masses of people who come to revel in our freedoms and blessings. I love to go to Washington with groups of people and alone... I love to walk through the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum so that generations of people to come will Never Forget... I love to see the cherry blossoms around the Jefferson Memorial in the afternoons... I love to move quietly through Arlington National Cemetery and remember those who paid the ultimate sacrifice...I love to see the city through the eyes of those who have never seen it... I love to stand where Martin Luther King, Jr., gave his famous speech and reflect on our far we have come... I love to visit that great symbol of our nation's leadership, the White House... I love to remember how blessed I am to live in a country where I am free to worship as I wish, to work a job I love, and to raise a family I adore.
