Every family has their corks and share of embarrassing or crazy stories. Some have more than others and some try to hide them. I think it’s a great thing though, and they should be embraced. These crazy moments in our life can be seen as a hindrance or waste of time. However, these moments can be the best of them all if the focus is on the good side.

Construction going on, protesters with vast arguments, die hard Trump fans, vendors everywhere, It was more of a money making opportunity then beautiful history in my opinion. It was finally time to leave, which is what we’d all secretly been hoping for. We got lost on the way back to the cars, which doubled the walking time. We eventually got there though, but the trouble wasn’t done
