Hey all! Just returned from the Capital Fourth Fireworks on the Mall in D.C. Both Emily and I had a very enjoyable time sitting on the grass between the famous Washington Monument and the Capitol Building . . . a sight to behold!!
After a long day beginning with the Cubs vs. Nationals baseball game and on through our methodical yet intriguing visit at the National Air and Space Museum we ventured out to grab a spot for the fireworks. To our consternation after a brief few minutes of taking pictures and talking we smelled the raunchy, dangerous smell of cigarette smoke! Who would have thought a smoker would have found us amongst the thousands upon thousands of people there - but it happened and we weren't to pleased.
The wind was blowing in just the right direction and we took in more smoke than that particular smoker. Emily's asthma condition will feel the affects of the inconsiderate addicts, so let this be a warning . . . don't frequent public parks and stand downwind if you wish to be free of second-hand smoke! If one wants to be free of such nuisance move to Utah where public parks are free of smoke!!
Our night was not ruined so see our July 4th recap.
