                      I was on vacation in Washington DC last time the government shut down - by the way WORET TIME EVER to go there all the museums were closed 😟 but I got to see the white house kinda close so that was cool, but anyways yeah I'm glad there's a temporary fix but they seriously just need to put there problems aside and do what's best for all of America
