PhuturePriest Posted August 1, 2015 Author Posted August 1, 2015 No, I was responding to the "ban all kids" line. That being said, if I took my kids to a black tie event, I'd only do so if I could expect them to behave accordingly (and yes, kids can do that - I grew up going to the symphony regularly and knew what was expected, as well as going to dinner at very fancy restaurants with my grandparents). Indeed. Granted, it helps that I was always a very mellow and calm child, but growing up people always commented to my parents about how well-behaved and calm I was. Having behaved children isn't impossible, you just have to know how to do it. Personally, I have no clue how other than to pray to only have introverted children, but my parents seem to know the trick.

Personally, I have no clue how other than to pray to only have introverted children, but my parents seem to know the trick. I took my 7-year-old to watch Itzhak Perlman. He was perfectly behaved. He's also naturally calm (not shy at all, just calm). He wasn't like that as a 2-year-old, of course, so maybe there's hope for my loud Leo. Charlotte is quite shy in public, so I'm sure she'd do well, too. The kids know my expectations.
Norseman82 Posted August 3, 2015 Posted August 3, 2015 That's like picking a favorite pie. I can't think of one I wouldn't have at least once. Considering its August and will be hot, I'd go with the Capital Building, Library of Congress for a quick peek, see a copy of the Declaration of Independence and Constitution. The Star Spangled banner 's new display is under whelming. If you can take the heat, Arlington National Cemetery and Lincoln Memorial are worth extended visits. It depends on your interests and what's worth learning about beforehand. Even riding the Metro is an adventure DC's compares well with London's and Paris' but smaller. I'd guess you're like me and haven't experienced that as a young adult. If you can locate an adventurous local, that's fantastic. I honestly find the Smithsonians a little over rated. Not worth if only visiting one day. +1 on Arlington National Cemetery. You can get there on the Metro, I believe. When I was there years ago, I was moved when I visited the section that was for small children (less than 2 years old, as I recall) of service members.
Winchester Posted August 3, 2015 Posted August 3, 2015 What do people do on sidewalks in Kansas? And are you going bald?
PhuturePriest Posted August 3, 2015 Author Posted August 3, 2015 What do people do on sidewalks in Kansas? And are you going bald? Sidewalks are just there to look pretty. It's more the idea that people can walk on them, rather than the reality of it. I prefer to think of it as "going cost-efficient", on account of how much money I'll save from not buying shampoo and paying for haircuts.
Guest Posted August 3, 2015 Posted August 3, 2015 (edited) At least your last name isn't pronounced hair and you didn't start going severely bald at 17 and completely bald by 20 lol You should look into Propecia. Not everyone can be totally jacked and have perfect hair like Winchester. Edited August 3, 2015 by Guest
dominicansoul Posted August 3, 2015 Posted August 3, 2015 Visit the Dominican House of Studies. Then quickly run away, because you will definitely want to be a Dominican friar after visiting that place...

Anomaly Posted August 4, 2015 Posted August 4, 2015 Have you thought of something that interests you yet? I love traveling though I didn't do much at your age. There is so much to see and experience!
NadaTeTurbe Posted August 4, 2015 Posted August 4, 2015 From my time as a tourist, I tend to find Germans ruder than many other groups. You never met a British tourist in Spain. Did you like Paper Towns ? I hate The Fault in Our Stars, but I king of liked Paper Towns. Like, I found the movie bad on some point, but I liked the morals at the end. I hope you post your paper on republican candidates in the Phorum, I'm curious on the presidential election.

My first one is out, so I'll post it. You never met a British tourist in Spain. Did you like Paper Towns ? I hate The Fault in Our Stars, but I king of liked Paper Towns.

And Paper Towns was great. It really under-stated the overarching moral of the book, which I didn't like, but I did enjoy it as a movie.
