A Day in DC

Ah, DC....how lovely you are!!

Now that we are here, the fears and the worries of this trip has totally melted away. All is well in the land of Lindsay!

Today we spent the day with a few missions, #1 Get our inauguration tickets, #2 See awesome museum stuff, #2 See the WW II memorial. We got up early to make sure that we got our tickets first thing, that way if there was anything wrong with them we could fix it before the big day tomorrow. It was at this early morning hour that we learned something valuable, one of our roommates is freakin' nuts.

Right as we get ready to leave she gets a phone call that she needs to take, chasing us out of every room in the apartment to talk. Literally, she would ask us to leave a room and then she would talk in there for 5 seconds and make us leave another room. Then when things couldn't get any weirder, she darted from one end of the apartment to the other to have a post-night-of-drinking puke. And the best part her "service dog" (service dog is in quotes because we still don't believe it was!!) refuses to follow her. She made the trip weird and awkward the whole time. Luckily there was enough awesomeness going on that we could drown her out.

The rest of the day was great. No problem with our tickets. In fact the Wyoming Senate office was a lot of fun. We got our picture taken with Sen. John Barrasso, which was awkward since neither of us voted for him, but wrote my name in instead. Did he know he was getting his picture taken with his direct competition. No, I was a bigger person and did not let him know. Adn to make things MORE AWKWARD we are now on Barrasso's home page. Check it out. http://barrasso.senate.gov/public/

The rest of the day was filled with laughter and seeing awesome things. We Saw the Star Spangle Banner, Kermit the frog, Some Red Slippers, bot most importantly The Portrait of Stephen Colbert!!! Holy Canoli, here it is right there. We couldn't helo but get multiple pictures with it. If there is anything in the world that will make you feel like America, it is definitly that!!

We were able to hit the Museum of the American Indian, the Air and Space Museum and the Museum of American History all in one day. Go us. Our feet were tired but we felt good about everything we did. Besides. we want to make sure that we go to bed early to insure the energy that we will need to get through tomorrow. Wish us luck, our goal is to not get mobbed.
