*Happy 4th of July*

 
     It feels great to be an American over this long holiday weekend. When you're surrounded by happy people in red white and blue, celebrating our Nation's independence you just can't help but smile. That'g right go ahead and smile. Don't forget to sport your colors as well, blue is among my favorites. Anyways, waking up in DC on the Fourth of July was sweet. Taking a morning skate to meet up with Caylee and her two friends Debbie and Megan (introductions below) was quite the warm up for our activity filled day. Ditched the shredstick in the fortress of UCDC and then set out on foot. It was also nice to have Brian in town from San Clemente staying with a friend from Colorado named Danny. Hey there Danny.  From all of us in DC we wish everyone a happy Fourth of July

 
      Walking past the Archives was pretty cool, especially after National Treasure was playing repeat all day on ABC family. Walked past the IRS building and read an interesting quote, "Taxes are what we pay for a civilized society". Seems appropriate when you take into account Egypt's current situation. Threw that gem down in the Twitter game as well. Spent some time on Constitution Ave watching the parade, walked the mall, ate some american food, drank American beer, also drank some imported beer and then proceed to summit Danny's roof with all the buddies. It was then when we watched a terrific firework show over the Washington Monument, jumped on the metro,
