Obama Inauguration

So...I just got back from downtown. I am definitely NOT volunteering tonight....too cold and my feet hurt :-)
Parked in Rosslyn at my office and rode metro down this morning, which wasn't bad. Tried to find my two friends who I was meeting but they closed so many roads that it literally took me an hour to get across 14th street to the Washington monument....and then the crowd was so bad you couldn't move. I was a bit miffed for a while cause when I came out of metro I could have gone East and had a good view (I thought) but I ended up going down to the WWII memorial and watching the jumbotron there, which I'm actually happy about. I had a great view of stuff and monuments and then I got to quickly leave and hike over the bridge to Rosslyn. Too darn cold!


My camera stopped working for a few minutes. Had to stick it in my pocket with a "hand warmer" to get it functioning again! REI hand and toe warmers work pretty well.

Very glad to be home and greatly looking forward to all the visitors leaving and roads opening so we can get back to normal around here!




At our poker game on Sunday night, Kathy brought Obama cookies from Safeway. I cannot share all the hilarious comments that were made but trust me , there were some awesome ones! and it's a good thing we're all such good friends.
