The Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial in D.C.

“I have a dream that one my four little children will be judged not by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character”

Where I stood, some of our world’s greatest leaders stood!

Do I look like a Supreme Court Justice?? haha :)

Martin Luther King Jr. waves to supporters during the 1963 March on Washington and President Barack Obama speaks at his first inauguration in 2009.

I recently went to Washington D.C. for a business journalism conference (SABEW) and I fell in LOVE with the city. The more places I go to, the less I want to come back! It was a nice 50-60 degrees in D.C. and it is almost a 100 degrees over here in Phoenix…

What I learned from visiting our nation’s capitol:

• It is unusually clean for being a city.
• It is quite spacious and green for being a city.
• The people are surprisingly polite.
• EVERYONE dresses so professionally (which makes me soooo happy)
• D.C. is a big melting pot of cultures.
• The hot dogs are actually good!!!

Going around in National Mall in D.C. is like taking a trip down memory lane of history class. You are surrounded by history. You are surrounded by statues and monuments of moments in our nation’s history that sculpted our nation’s future.

I give thanks to those who fought/fight for this country. I give thanks to live in a country where I can decide what to do with my life. I give thanks to my family for risking everything to give me a better future.

Let freedom ring.

Thank you to everyone who has defended the freedom of our nation.

Going to the Lincoln Memorial at night was full of tranquility.

Thank you Mr. Lincoln :)

The White House was surprisingly small…

“Free at last! Free at last! Thank God Almighty, we are free at last!”
