It's rather passive-aggressive of me actually. But they tend to turn out well, so I'm excited. :)

We should go....I want to really badly, but my bank account would be unhappy with me. :( But really, a new grand staircase and a statue of George Washington in a toga (although that's been there a while)--how could one not go?
