This is one of my favorite holidays because as a child who grew up with politics in the house there was nothing better than celebrating this holiday. I grew up admiring the way our country works and had a lot of great experiences while we were a political family. Not everything is perfect about us, but I'm proud of who we are and the amazing people that fight for our freedom. I'm still not completely sold on staying out of politics when I get a little older, but for now I'll just enjoy being a regular citizen again.
My parents are on their way here to spend the long weekend with me (my sister as well) and I couldn't be more excited. It's not as exciting as being in Washington DC to celebrate, but we'll be going to see Josh Groban at the Hollywood Bowl. I'm so ready to just have some fun and hopefully make my dad grill some hamburgers this weekend.
