And I'm going to tour this place!
I'm going to go on tours of both the West and East Wings and I am so thrilled!! Its going to be a great experience! And I hope I don't faint in the foyer. :) What an amazing experience to see the place where so many influential and powerful men have lived and conducted business. As a lover of US History it just sends chills through my veins when I really think about what an amazing place it is. And the whole city is steeped in history of our glorious country! I'm so excited! Plus, I'll get to hang out with one of my favorite people! Kristin is such a unique, special person and she really adds a lot to my life. Plus, we go waaaaaay back so if nothing else we can watch "That Darn Cat" and laugh about old times. That classic movie is our two families "theme movie". All of us can probably quote the whole thing. Reminds me, we gotta make sure the younger ones have that deep appreciation of this Disney classic.
So that is what I'm going to be doing this weekend! I'm going to take bunches of pictures and I'll be sure to tell you all about it when I get back! Until then I have some laundry and cleaning to do, oh joy. :)

LOL. Oh man, Stacy, you should have gone to Hillsdale! :-) You would have loved their American Studies major. Have you ever read any of Russell Kirk's books or de Tocqueville's Democracy in America? I think you would love them.
Oh, yeah, and have fun on your trip! I hope you really enjoy the time with your friend.
You seriously loved "that darn cat"?? SO did we!!! Abby loved it the most and insisted we watch it every single night...Have fun in Washington D.C. I want to go back! It is full of sooo much history and I loved it! (even if I was a whiney brat then...)
Have a blast!!! Then blog with pics!!!
I love "That Darn Cat"! We used to watch it all the time! And I LOVE D.C.! I really could live there. (The drab weather is my favorite!)
Being surrounded by history is such an incredible experience.
Have a great time!
I'm compiling a list of books to recommend. My Bible study is talking about doing a book study next, so we'll be deciding on a group pick soon. I'm all ears if you have suggestions for that!
