Visiting the Obamas

October 29, 2013

Our first order of business was to give the Obama's a call to let them know we were in town.

They were a little busy so they sent their stand-ins.

While I was hob nobbing with the Obamas Mark was out making friends with the local "Duck" party.  This guy hung around our motorhome for the entire 6 days we were in DC.  We must have been in his "spot".

We were lucky enough to get a tour when we visited the capitol building.

My favorite part was when we went by the "cry baby's" office.  I really wanted to go in and tell him to quit crying when he is on tv.

The North Korea Memorial was my favorite.  Maybe because it was the first time I had seen it.

This was our favorite sculpture in the National Art Gallery Sculpture Garden.  It was so funny because Jason, Lindsey and Kyle had no idea what it was.  My sister, Rose, was first to identify a typewriter eraser.  These things disappeared in the 70's I believe.  The "blue hair" is actually the brush that you would use to brush away the eraser dust.  This thing stood about 15 feet tall.

We took the night tour on Halloween Night.  The White House had orange lighting on it for Halloween.

This is a "selfie" that I took of Mark and I as we sat on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial on Halloween night, gazing at the Washington Memorial.

Here I am installing the itty bitty state of Maryland.  I just love putting these stickers on!

Mark with three of his five "C"s.  He was having a good day in the Capitol, despite being in close proximity to those Liberal Democrats!
