We have arrived

We thought the trip would be a little more challenging...knock on wood.

We're in DC safe and sound.  The best part of the trip was seeing all of the other people on their way to the inauguration as well.  I took a few pictures of newspaper headlines from some of our many stops.  There were some great bumper sticker displays too.

There does seem to be an electricity in the air...lots of smiling faces...there were public transportation employees outside of the Metro stations offering to help people w/ directions--A little boy came up to David, tugging at his City Year backpack.  Turns out his mother is currently working for City Year in DC -- this little boy was so excited to see the familiar logo.  It was cool to make friends w/ this little fellow and his mom.  I have a feeling we'll be meeting a lot more friends.  

Soon we're going out for Ethiopian food and hopefully we'll get to stop by some of the Obama shops that have popped up around the city...I can't wait to try on the sequin encrusted Obama skull cap.
