Narrative:

My flight was of a sight seeing nature. A local flight for about 1 hour. I had not flown for almost 1 month. My decision to fly where I was flying was based on merely seeing other aircraft fly over an around my home, which is well within this tfr. Now knowing they must have been on a specific flight plan I am regretting not speaking to a briefer or at least another pilot to get more information on this tfr. While in flight a citation jet came along side of my plane and instructed me to land at the nearest airport. On the ground customs personnel informed me of what I had done.
