C & M Brown, Courtney & me

No one's smiling now...Actually, you can't even see our faces! And this is just the train station!

The Looooooooooooooong line at the train station

No, for real, the lines were loooooooooooooong!

Are we sure we want to do this? It's freezing!

Train is PACKED!

Who's that girl?

Dude, it was your idea! Don't give me those puppy dog eyes!

The Capitol at wee hours in the morning

People waiting to get in as we were leaving to seek warmth!

Vendors along the street selling everything including Obama 'change' water

More vendors

Folks coming into the city

After a long journey, M. Brown still has the energy to hold the American flag
