OoooOOO Tourists!!

I was driving home for work today and saw a couple of tourists. They had pulled off the side of the highway so that they could take pictures next to the Maine state sign that welcomes people. I find it funny that they parked right in from of the "Emergency stopping only" sign. Also, they had official New England shirts and were making goofy faces in front of a camera. The sad part is that I had to really fight the urge not to pull over myself to take a picture. Not of the sign, but of the tourists. Sad, isn't it? I grew up in the state that is ranked dead last in tourism in this country and I am so very fascinated by this whole tourist concept. Is it sad, that as a local, I want to take pictures of the tourists?
