Happy 4th - America!

*We had a Most Fabulous day in Washington D.C. for the 4th of July! We drove to the outskirts & took the Metro Train into downtown mall district. We passed all of the Smithsonian Museums, the lines were ridiculously looong so we'll go back & do those on another day. It was soo much fun to see all of the Patriotic people everywhere-- there was supposed to be about 2.5 million people-CRAZY. We found a nice spot in front of the Washington Monument looking towards the Lincoln Memorial & hung out there for most of the day. They had a huge stage w/ sweet music playing, we played games, tag, & the kids loved getting hosed off by the First Aid guys :) It was such a cool experience to be in our Nation's Capital on our Nation's Birthday! I loved hearing the "Glee" cast sing some awesome 'Journey' songs, & got emotional when patriotic songs were sung.
Overall: I give it 2 thumbs up- w/ a HUGE bones EXPLODE!
*My American Flag Cake (yeah, I know- pretty talented huh?) -haha*the inside-- it was YUMMY too :)
