This weekend, thousands of Boy Scouts traveled from all over the United States to see the sights and learn a little bit about the history of our nation's capital. The massive act is in celebration of the 100 years of tradition that the Boy Scouts of America has had within our country. As a former boy scout, i both applaud for and empathize with the representatives in the District this weekend. Temperatures have risen above record highs and the combination of reflective architecture and sticky black black-top work together to cook you from the inside out. I hope the experience is memorable for these young lads and not for the wrong reasons. If you were lucky enough to be blocked up in traffic at 1 today, calm down, at least you were in an air conditioned car. Give a little respect to one of, if not the, oldest fraternal youth organization in the United States.

It was a sight to see these young men all over the city. Not only were they doing the sights, but they were clogging up the metro, and holding up the sidewalks on the way to work. The best part of this was how much they enjoyed following Haley around, especially by parking their charter bus outside of our house to begin on of their last days! I will always think of my summer in DC when I see those beige uniforms on pimply faced boys =)
