Capitol time

17 January, 2009 (16:21) | Inauguration 2009 | By: KT

Cousin Phil picked me up at the airport. I dropped off my bags, then we headed to the capitol to pick up my tickets from Speaker Pelosi’s office. A brief mixup with my last name nearly made my heart stop, but tickets in hand, I’m on the way to scope out the grounds. It was so very cold. I lasted maybe a half hour outside before we stopped into the Air and Space museum. Fortunately it will be at least freezing, not 13°, on Tuesday. Pictures after the jump.

So very cold. Could last 20 minutes before face froze.

The potties at the Capitol are ziptied closed until Tuesday.
