Prepare for Take-off

T-minus 6 days until I leave for my trip to Washington DC. I have to admit I'm a little nervous. I'm really excited, but nervous. This is a big trip for me, not big in the sense of an exotic place, but this is my first trip alone all by myself. I get to make my schedule, where I want to go somewhere, what I want to see.

I'm scared arriving and departing, all the in between stuff is exciting. That might sound weird, but once I'm in DC I know what I want to do. When I arrive I'll be lost and alone-when I depart I will be lost. I have been having the most mixed emotions this week. I'm excited because on Sunday when I arrive I am going to haul my jet-lagged (hopefully not) butt to the Lincoln Memorial for an afternoon pre-inauguration event that consists of a concert, which I just learned might include Josh Groban (weeee.....I need an outfit that makes me look hot/keeps me warm/gets me noticed/etc.....) and President Obama and Vice President Biden (wow that sounds good to say) will be in attendance. So theoretically if luck is really on my side, I could meet Josh and the leader of our country in the same afternoon. And of course Josh will fall head over heels in love with me and we will get married and have beautiful babies...............okay so that is a stretch to say the least.

I am excited to see all the history. Once I figure out the transporation system in DC it will be easier, however-that is what I am worried about. I think/hope I'll figure it out relativly quickly but who knows.

I leave on Saturday and arrive in DC on Sunday at 7am-wish me luck!
