We Made It!

About 9 hours after leaving Buffalo we finally arrived at our destination. Our gracious hosts, JT and Kendall, were so happy to see us that they decided to throw a party. JT is all about the theme, and this party's theme is "Chowder for Change." There are several fabulous home-made soups and lots of other goodies.

Everyone in DC is complaining about the weather, but we enjoyed watching the thermometer readings in the car climb as we made our way south and east. It was in the 20s by the time we arrived here. That's cold for DC but compared to the frigid weather we had in Buffalo this morning it felt almost tropical. They're predicting temps in the mid-30s for inauguration day.

Tomorrow's itinerary is still up in the air. The big event at the Lincoln Memorial starts at 2:30pm. The gates open at 8 and I can assure you that there will be no Featherstons or Roys fighting for the front row. We'll head down there at some point and see what we can see. As it's the first big event of the weekend it promises to be packed and lots of fun. Beyonce, U2, Springsteen, and others are set to perform and the future first family is also slated to make an appearance. I promise, whatever we see, we'll record for posterity.
