The Kids with Obama and Biden (cut-outs)

Monday night, we went to an (unofficial) Inaugural Ball. The kids really enjoyed themselves, and it was the only time during the whole trip where we had decent food.

The Ball took place at Camelot, in Upper Marlboro, Maryland. They really did a good job-- very professional, which is why I'm mentioning them by name. Sam said it was one of the best parts of the trip-- good food and good music (according to him, I mean about the music, the food was good)-- what more could you want?

Well, we did want to get there without having to do a turnaround because the Driver and Tour Guide missed the sign for the place. Once again, too busy looking at GPS's to actually take in the signage. I saw the sign and started singing the "Camelot" song, and the Teacher in front of me started singing, too. Then, the Driver kept on going. I said, "Hey, there was a sign for the place back there." They kind of didn't believe me. So, I said to the Teacher, "You saw the sign, didn't you? You started singing the song." To which she replied, "I didn't see the sign. I thought we were just singing."

One more thing, some of our Bay Area kids couldn't get over how frequently we crossed state lines-- Virginia, Maryland, D.C.

P.S. I do know that D.C. is not a state.
