It was the summer after I had graduated from 8th grade. Despite the fact thatI grew up 10 minutes outside the DC limits and visited the city quite often, Istill hadnt done most of the touristy things people come to DC to do. My momthought it would be funny to take one of those bus tours. The whole day wepretended to be tourists, pretending this was the first time we had ever seenany of the monuments. This was taken at the Vietnam Memorial.
