Oh boy, Oh boy

The Capital and the millions of people in front of it
Washington Monument earrrly in the morning
The NBC desk at the Newseum
Matt and I on the balcony of the Newseum...freezing because our coats had been checked in.  Brr!
A portion of the Berlin Wall
This could've been a really great picture...hehe.  We're pointing at Florida Avenue trying to convince ourselves that it's warm.  It did NOT work.

Can anyone tell me why Florida is being stupid?  A low of 27 last night...all I'm sayin'....

Ok so a few things are new.  I went to the inauguration of President Barack Obama and as a result have been in DC for the past 5 days.  Let me tell you...it was freezing, but totally worth it.  What an experience.  I could tell you about the people jumping over porta-potties, my fear of losing my toe due to frostbite, Cathy and I partying with homemade lemonade because we weren't allowed to go to the "Lotus Lounge", the amazing people, freezing more than I ever have before, a bus blockade made of people, and jumping through bushes, but I'll spare you.  Oops...

I'll post some pictures, because I feel like that's the best way to really see what it was like.  It's hard to describe in words the spirit of the event, and what it was like to be around alllll those other people celebrating that historic day.  

So.  If you're ever bored, go read old blog posts from all of us, and the comments.  They pretty much made my day today....and there are a lot of inside jokes that I unfortunately cannot remember the meaning to.  Makes it more fun, I think....
Hope your lives are being great to you all, and that we can all get together soon!  

Love,
Brit

The picture of the Monument is great! One of your pictures (I guess it's on facebook) looks like a painting, it's kinda crazy but cool haha.
