my touristy day alone in d.c.... i got to stand on the pool!!

went out on u street to get some chili and share in the excitement of the evening, but finished it at home with some wine and some knitting!

so after waiting for NINE HOURS in the middle of an ENORMOUS crowd to squeeze through a tiny little gate, m.c. and i finally got through and got a spot right in front of the archives to watch mr. prez march his way down to the white house. EPIC!!!!

it's inauguration weekend and i'm here in d.c. for the first time! i'm staying with maricarmen and that means the next few days will be guaranteed excellence. we're gonna try to go to the parade tomorrow (in the 20 degree weather) so i'm gonna go set out my layers and go to beddd
