Day 3

 There's a rumor going around that we might, actually have a slight idea of what we may be doing for the Inauguration...potentially. It turns out that we are slated to work on the Capitol steps! IF that turns out to be true, it's pretty amazing.
  We had a defensive driving course brought to us by AAA today in the off chance that we have to also become Executive Drivers as well as Official Ushers. At lunch, I snapped some pictures of the base and the sights.

Marine One (not really, just the chopper)

  Speaking of amazing, I thought Arizona had some amazing sunsets, but here in D.C. for the past two nights the skies here have been beautiful. They are what my mother used to call, "Mrs. Claus baking cookies" sunsets. They are very pink and very bright. Too bad I can't share the pictures with you (boo!). So far, the one thing I forgot was my USB connector for my camera to download pictures to the laptop. Looks like I may have to get one on base somewhere to share.
  Tomorrow we have another uniform inspection but then we are FINALLY leaving the base and taking a walking tour of D.C. I will fill you in tomorrow....see you then!
