Highly PO'd

I wrote a long, brilliant piece about our day yesterday in DC. Hit "publish" and the hotel's connection kicked me off of blogger. Grrrrrr...

In summary (aren't YOU the lucky readers):

1. Walked a lot yesterday. My legs have gigantic red welts, blotches on them today. The other moms decided that perhaps it will be a good idea to take the trolley around rather than walking another 20 miles.

2. The Pentagon was neat. High security, including guards inconspicuously holding machine guns. Saw the Pentagon's 911 memorial and walked where the building had been rebuilt. Kinda creepy knowing that all those people died where we were walking.

3. Met Bart Gordon. His staff gave us a tour of the Capitol, then he met with us for about 15-20 minutes. Really liked him and will vote for him in November.

4. Velma (MIL) is home very sick with a bad back. Richard tried to take her to the ER on Thursday night but she refused. I guess she'd rather hurt than spend money on a muscle relaxer. Meanwhile Melissa is very upset at seeing her Grandma hurting.

5. Richard is taking Melissa to see "Cars" today so she can do something fun while we're out gallavanting.

6. I used the word svelte in my previous post. It's a good word.

7. Getting ready to hit the monuments today, then the Holocaust Museum.

8. Have a good day.
