Not really too much to weite about today, since it was a well deserved day off. We couldn’t really sleep in because the cleaning lady kept walking in and waking us up.
So we slept in until about 10, then got up and got McDonalds lunch. We then came back to the hotel where we just [...]

Today we finally had a day off. We got up and went out for lunch at Capitol Hill Brewery. The food was delicious, and the beer was also great.
Though many of the members of our group went to the concert, we decided to just watch it back from our hotel rooms. It was a lot [...]
Episode VII: Running On Low

The first thing we did today was go to the Newseum, a museum dedicated to journalism. It was quite interesting, even for a political science major, who by definition is not a big fan of journalism. I seriously think it’s ingrained into our DNA or something. Anyway, a bunch of protesters showed up while we [...]

So today was our sixth day here. The morning session was a bit dull…which was kind of sad since it was the last day.
Sam Donaldson was the first speaker. He was alright, but very longwinded.
We then went to the Smithsonian. I got to see some cool exhibits from the presidential and military areas.
Then the night [...]

So today freakin’ rocked. Instead of gonig to the normal morning session, I went to the Senate with Dan, Cara, Sarah, TJ, and Duffs.
At the Senate hearing, we were able to hear Joe Biden and Hillary Clinton’s farewell addresses to the Senate. It was awesome to be so close to them. Joe Biden’s was way [...]

I swear if I hear that term one more time I might snap. Tony Cerise probably says it 76 times every session.
In other news, I would easily say that today has been the best day of the trip thus far. The morning session was amazing with Dana Palmero (Pres. Bush’s press secretary), Clarence Page, and [...]

So the day started off great. We took part in two live C-SPAN tapings, and one that will be shown on Sunday night. They were really good, and very interrsting. TJ got very happy because Brett Hume was there, and I took his picture with him. I figured my liberal friends would have killed me [...]

So, what do you say about our second day?
Started off nice and early again, which honestly isnt really a big deal for me since I usually get up pretty early for work. We got to the UDC auditorium an hour before we needed to be, which actually worked out very well because we were able [...]
Episode I: And So It Begins

Today was our first official day of the inauguration trip. It started off bright and early by getting up so we could be out the door by 7:15 as we were instructed to do. When we got to the University of the District of Columbia’s auditorium we started an ice breaker activity. While I could [...]
