Mr. Rogers/Mr. Mann Go To Washington

second class citizen · 01-27-2009, 08:42 PM

We're going to Washington!!!!

JW and I are heading to our Nation's Capitol to catch the dual Lincoln/Darwin Bicentennial Celebrations this mid-Feb.

Will we see Obama?! Probably not, but JW will be calling our Congresswoman to see about getting passes into the Capitol and the White House, so maybe, just MAYBE, if we get in, we'll catch a glimpse of Barack! (But I'm not holding my breath.)

We DO have a stop over in Salt Lake City on the way there, so we'll be SURE to wear our No On 8 t's and caps for any of those boarding Mormons.

In addition to seeing all the wonderful things along the Mall, I'm looking forward to the "Orchids Through Darwin's Eyes" exhibit the "Smith" will be having to help celebrate the "genius of evolution".

Now I can finally have a use for all those warm wool clothes and leather jackets I brought out here from the East coast...if they don't look to 80ish or have holes in them.

If so....then "pre-Washington shopping spree!"

Love the new avatar, sweetie. Very appropriate!

Wow! Maybe a little cold for outright jealousy, but I certainly am envious.

Snow should look good against all the white monuments.

Yay! We're hoping to afford a trip out there ourselves. I've never been

Snowflake · 01-28-2009, 09:20 AM

Wow! This is great news! Exciting and take loads of pics!

I'm tentatively planning a trip in the fall, visit friends and see if I can get a White House tour, too. I need to make up for some of the touristy things I never did when I lived there.

Color me jealous! Have a great time

Just called Rep Richardson's office. We got rezzies for the Capitol tour. The White House is iffy. They are going to try and get us on the tour, but it's unlikely they can on such short notice.

We have a lot to pack in in four days!

Have a great time! I can't wait to see the pics. I've always wanted to see the Smithsonian, I can't wait to hear about it!

Do you have some specific events you are planning to attend?
