Washington - Day 1

We are here....
My watch reads 9:46pm, the clock reads 6:46pm and I've been up since 4am!!
We were blessed with a smooth trip here.
We changed plans in St. Louis. We had a short layover so we spent some time walking around the stores, etc. We happened to walk by our gate and heard our names being called over the loud speaker. That was a little wierd. They asked to change our seating which worked better for us anyway. Then as we were waiting to board, security 'selected' have her bags inspected. Once we got to Washington we met up with some of Karen's group and finally got to the hotel. We haven't seen much.... We are in walking distance of several stores. A big bolt of lightening and boom of thunder stopped our venturing. We ate take out in our room and I'm going to bed SOON!!
