So I am in Bolinas, CA this morning with a little time so I thought I would check DC temperatures in an effort to fine tune the clothing choices for this amazing trip. Well today in Oakland it is 36°F whereas in DC it is 38°F. Interesting... very interesting.
But for our arrival morning, this Thursday the 15th, they are predicting 17°F for the low with a high temperature of 29°F. WOW... So now I am rethinking my decision earlier this week to opt for the layered look and loose the long, wool, very warm snow world winter coat, since I was thinking it would be too bulky for packing if rain were to enter the picture. Now I am pretty sure that that long, wool very warm winter coat is looking very much like what I will want to have on me. And at the moment no rain is predicted for the 6 days I will be in DC.
I have decided that I will do a blog of my time in Washington DC during this historic inauguration. I will try to plop in a picture or 2 or 3 each nite before falling asleep and write a little bit about where we went that day and what we saw. Please pass along this link to anyone you know who might want to see what is going on as the change we have waited for arrives in Washington DC in the next 9 days. We know the veils have begun to fall slowly from all of us over these past 2 months as we watched and listened to a man with vision, integrity, a plan (actually many plans) and the ability to actually articulate his ideas and sound like an intelligent well thought out native speaker of the English language. I so appreciate this time that I have given myself to soak up and be with others who have look forward to the changes
that are so soon upon us.

Sue, thank you for sharing this monumental experience with us. DC is one of my most favorite places to visit and now it must be just so exciting. I look forward to reading what you are doing and seeing. Please stay warm, I have been there in January and it is bitter cold, nothing like what we know here in Sunny CAL....stay safe. Have and take it all in, you are right in the center of history in the making.
