Presidential Day

President George W Bush was here on Yongsan yesterday.  If I had thought about it, I would have done something special to mark the day, something like wearing red, white and blue, as well as cooking with all red, white and blue, but as it is, I did nothing.  (I do have flags in my flower garden, that should count for something right?) I could have gone to watch the motorcade as it drove through post, but I didn't.  I am so lame.  There I go using that word again.  However I did tell my children that the President of the United States was here on post.  Boy 2 wanted more information, where is he, what is he doing here, is he coming to our house for dinner?  Oh to be so young and innocent.  As we were driving around post, Boy 2 was looking out his window, looking for the President.  After looking for a while, he said, “Mom, I’m looking for the President, but I kind of forgot what he looks like”.  How sweet is that?  He really thought he was going to get to see the President.  Boy 1 was at soccer camp when the Presidential motorcade drove past.  At least he got to see it.  I’m feeling so un-American right now.  I should have gone.
