Electric environment

10 p.m. Sunday
Washington, D.C.

We rode the metro into Washington, D.C., tonight to attend a concert.  Although we did not get to the event, we enjoyed an absolutely electric environment surrounding the upcoming inauguration of President-elect Barack Obama.

We had a chance to see the Washington Monument, the National World War II Memorial, the Lincoln Memorial and the Capitol Building. The highlight of the night may have been standing next to the NBC studio set in the National Mall.  All of our students watched Ann Curry preparing for her TV program, and we saw David Axelrod, who was getting ready to be interviewed. We all really enjoyed the evening and are thrilled with the upcoming events. 

When we returned to the townhouse, we also watched the Steelers beat the Ravens to earn a trip to the Super Bowl!!! They are great.
