Washington DC ~ June 06

(The White House obviously)

My dearest friend Debi, Geoff and I made a trip from Blacksburg, Virginia to Washington DC. We had such a blast.

Debi and Geoff were dropping me off at the airport so I could get to Alaska, and we all thought it would be fun to spend the day in DC.
So what exactly do you do first? The Gallery?... Sure... So we spend most of our time trying to get into the gallery. It was like a scavenger hunt. Everywhere we went people would send us to some other place to get more documents. The last thing we needed was an orange ticket. So we finally find a guard that can help us. The door is all the way down that hall and on your right, he says... So the only door in sight is the emergency exit. Do we take it? Sure. There is a guy setting out in the middle of nowhere with his umbrella and stand talking on a cell phone. We decided to go check it out and as it would be he has a stack of orange tickets on his little cart thing. While he is talking on the phone he just hands us a ticket. After all that running around he didn't even check our IDs... I had more fun running around looking for all the right stickers and ticket to get into the gallery than to actually sit in the empty room wonder what the heck actually goes on in there.

...We had a lot of fun and thought it was funny how many different places we had to go to get into the House Gallery.
