**Edited to Add** I actually wrote this post on Wednesday, but Blogger was acting wonky and wouldn't let me post it.
After spending Sunday night, a good portion of Monday and then all day Tuesday glued to my television watching all of the inauguration activities, it's very surreal to be here not even 24 hours after the inauguration.
The city is still bustling with tourists and as I walked around today, I saw nothing but smiles.
I walked up to the White House to get photos, unfortunately, the bleachers and viewing platform that the President and First Lady used to watch the parade are still up and are blocking the north side of the White House. I did take pictures of the viewing platform, which was really surreal considering I had just watched them LAST night sitting there watching the parade. I stopped and asked a DC policeman if the south side of the White House was better for picture taking, but he said "Not really, not right now". I'm hoping to go back on Friday and maybe some of that stuff will have been taken down and I can get a good shot of the White House.
I forgot my card reader, so I can't upload the photos that I took today, but I will share them once I'm back home.
My hotel room is very nice, small, but I have a king size bed with fabulous linens and it's very comfortable. The hotel is surrounded by shopping, but I MUST NOT SHOP, I MUST PAY FOR BRACES, which BTW, Connor did NOT get the other day.
Dr. Rovner has decided after taking the mold and xrays of Connor's mouth that he needs 4 permanent teeth pulled and his 4 wisdom teeth extracted before we can begin orthodontic treatment. So next week, we have a consultation with an oral surgeon.

I'm sure it was very interesting being in DC right after the big day! Hopefully traffic had cleared and you had an easy enough time getting around.
Gosh, Dr. Rovner was my orthodontist (I had braces in college as the result of a car accident)!
Yikes to the teeth, even though I read later he doesn't have to have the wisdom teeth pulled now...and boohoo to the not shopping part. I wanted to live vicariously through what you bought at Anthropologie;)
