misty3k commented on the blog post Nixonland To Open Wild Watergate Flume Ride
I remember the day Nixon resigned from office. I was 9 years old. My family was in the middle of a 3 week vacation at Newport Beach, and I had made friends with the children of the family vacationing next to us. We had gone inside their rental so one of them could get their buckets and shovels for the awesome sandcastle we were going to make.
I waited in the living room and turned my attention to the TV. The grownups were gathered around it, watching Nixon give his resignation speech. I watched too, because that’s what you did when the TV was on. When he came to the part where he admitted he had made a “few mistakes”, I indignantly shouted out “a FEW mistakes?!”
The adults immediately cracked up, and I did too, even though I wasn’t quite sure what was so funny. My friends came back, we went outside to play, Nixon resigned, and we made the best sandcastle ever.
