I'm blogging darling, blogging!

While at SD pride, this guy was very willing to allow me to remember this moment! I gave proper exterior validation and he moved on back into the crowd! That was all I needed, at that time.

Hanging with Gabe

he is such a great kid! Wish I could hang out more often then I do.

Gabe's digital fingerpainting

gabe's work (I just helped with the menus)

Gabe/Todd painting

this was created by my God son and myself using an iphone app called "whiteboard: collabortive drawing"!
It's great. Just like fingerpainting on you iPhone. My God son Gabe and I spent a long time painting. Only bad thing was the app doesn't have a save function and I had to do a screen shot to save the art!

After brunch on Monday

We all were standing around outside talking about what to do next, some of us wanted to go on a walk about the city and some wanted to rest up for the evening ball. Rumor had it that Usher had just left the restaurant as we where gathering to get a seat.

in the hotel... but still in line

So it's took us 2 hours to get thru this line just to get into the ball. Hard to say it was worth the wait, the ball was not much more then a big office holiday party or a very big wedding reception. But then I can still say I was at an Obama inaugural ball! Not to many people can say that, I should count my blessings that we were able to be apart of this historic week!

I just wanted to go back a few day (now that I'm at home and am able to look at all the photos from all the different camera and such) Wanted to show you all how amazing Martin and Steven's place was. This was Monday afternoon we just had brunch at a place around the corner. Steven was pointing out the best roads to take as we wanted to go on a little walk about the city.

standing line only!

Am standing in a very very long line to get into the illinois state ball! (fyi battery on iPhone is getting low may have to go into survival mode to make through the night

David's swaring in invite

The "inaugual ball" group having a welcome to DC dinner

Cocktail party before dinner was great fun, Steven & Martin's place is just amazing! After dinner, some of us just had to to out... Cobalt for some more drinks.

Before we knew it, it was 1:30, kevin and I figured we should take the metro back to get some rest... But wait it was sunday and we didn't realize the metro was closed. Had to taxi our way back across the potomac! Always an adventure.
