Inauguration Weekend in DC

Hey guys!! I never got around to doing a TR for this trip....but here's a link to my picture album on PP... http://www.passporterboards.com/foru...hp?albumid=493

Check it out... I put captions to tell what most things are. It was my first trip to DC...we stayed with DH's aunt and uncle. We had a great time with them. It was coooooold! So cold that the first full day we were there and out and about Andy wore his pajama pants UNDER his jeans Yeah, he was the one laughing come midafternoon when I almost stuck to the toilet seat at the WWII area it was so cold!

But it was a great time and we hope to go back in the summer to go sailing with them!!

I know!! I came into the bedroom that morning and first he says is "How do I look?" I though he was referring to the new sweater I bought him So I said "great!!" and then he goes "Do I look normal?" what kind of question is that? And then he told me about the pj pants

Great photos! Outside of WDW, DC is probably one of my very favorite places to visit (shocking, coming from a Poli Sci/American Studies double major ). I especially love the pic of you guys with the North Carolina piece of the WWII memorial.
