Our Nations Capitol (well not mine actually, but perhaps yours?)

Part 1 - Here I am, once again, out of town! This time I am in Washington DC and, although I would much rather be at home, I have to say it's pretty fun. I have never been here before and, aside from the humidity, it is quite the fun place to visit. I arrived on Tuesday and will be here until tomorrow, and have not had too much free time. However I did get some time yesterday to go up to the Capitol and meet with a couple of Utah Congressman, after my meetings (which well rather well) I went to Georgetown with some colleagues and had some delicious dinner. Georgetown was really cool and had some awesome shops and buildings, I would've liked to have gone back and hung out some more there but the conference schedule has been pretty full. Then today I got some time to go to the Mall - not like Fashion Place - the Mall with the Washington Monument, The White House, Lincoln Memorial etc.
Part 2- So now I'm at the airport in Denver with a 3 hour layover and thought that it would be a good time to finish up this post (I didn't finish it the other night as I became engrossed in a show called 'The Principals Office' on cable - anyways.....). My trip to Washington was so fun, my only wishes are that 1- Anna had come with me and 2 - I had a little more free time. Like I mention above I got to go to the Mall and see all the touristy stuff, I also really wanted to go the Smithsonian museum of American History (I hear that the 'Happy Days' set is now there!) but it is closed until November. I really enjoyed the Lincoln Memorial, although I do have to say that the White House was not as big as I thought it would be, it kind of just looked like one of those big house up by the U. I was also toying with the idea of heading back to Georgetown last night but I was so tired, the time difference (which I know is only two hours) about killed me, I had the hardest time sleeping, so I decided to stay in the hotel. I would love to come back to Washington again as there was so much I wanted to see/do - oh well. My trip really was quite fun and now get to go home for two days and then I am off to San Antonio on Tuesday - if it's still there! I am really looking forward to getting home and hanging out with my girls and sleeping in my own bed. Anyway I hope you enjoy the pictures and look out for more to come from my next trip! (and then after that it's off to Paris!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
