Favorite things about living in DC

One of my favorite things about living in DC are motorcades. It does not matter if it is the President of the United States (large motorcade with closed streets) or a member of the cabinet (with just a few cars), there is something exciting about them. Maybe it is the police sirens but I love watching the pass by. Today there was a motorcade of a few buses driving around the circle I pass on my way home from work and like a nerd I just sat there excited watching it pass. I think my excitement comes from the fact that I don't know who is in there and I really want to know. Anyway for those of you who don't have motorcades on a regular basis you are missing out.

BTW the Vice-Presidents motorcade is the scariest. One day, I was driving home from school and I came in contact with it while it was traveling on the other side of the street. What they don't tell you is that as the lead police come at you, they sweep the street, to push you off to the side. They are relentless. I thought they were going to kill me.
