A trip to history - we're in Washington, D.C. for inaugural events


Well I promised a few of you that I would blog about our trip so here goes...

Cameron, Coretha and I arrived safely sans my bag (which I checked at the last moment - it was good move as it wouldn't have fit in overhead on smaller plane, but it was a pain to have to wait for it to be delivered to hotel). It's all good now - bag as well as box we shipped arrived safely.

We're plotting our weekend now. I love D.C. from the time I lived nearby in Fairfax. So, I'm looking forward to 'just being here.' for a while.

I know we will attend the Jack and Jill of America, SE Region "Pink, White and Blue Inaugural Ball" on Monday, join our friends for parade inaugural viewing at Southern Company office and, we just found out, we'll be going to the Africa Group (Coca Cola?) 'Party on the Potomac. We need to verify date/location of that last one so stay tuned

Regardless of your preferred candidate in the past election, you have to appreciate the significance of this weekend's festivities and the historic events of Tuesday. I will treasure this forever.
