Day (1): The Rally

The adventures began with nothing better than the Glen Beck / Sarah Palin conservative circus that was being held on the Mall in DC. Dear old Dad (beligerent listener of all things Fox News, and one relatively pissed-off American) decided a voyage needed to be made to our nation's glorious Capital for this experience. I figured this would be the best way to wrap up my Southern-immersion summer, sure that Beck would drag out all his crazy cronies for this event. I was right. There were easily over half a million down-homies at the "Restoring Honor" rally, which is a message I in general support, despite my dislike of Beck. Everything was kept shockingly non-political and focused on the issues of integrity and honor. Still, the crowd was a hoot. Be on the lookout for the photo album on Facebook. It's going to change your life. In the meantime, take a look at this tasty morsel from the rally:
In other news, we also went to the Museum of Natural History, but no gemstone or even stuffed elephant could top this gem.
