Back in the summer of 2001, pre 9-11, in the GWB era, we were in DC with the kids, who were 10 and 7. You could just get a time for a tour then by showing up the day before. So we went and they told us to be there at 5am and that we would be assigned an arbitrary time, with no ability to change it. My boy Danny, who was 7, looked at the guy and said, "never mind. We'll come back when there is an elected president." I was bursting with pride.
