On our way back.

Hello everyone,
We will be posting some pictures soon after Ben gets sleep. Today as we were standing outside the capitol while Obama was in a meeting. We saw either Michelle or one of his kids in the window taking a picture and waving to us! It was a great experience today. After all the walking, we got on the train for it to take us back to Shady Grove, Maryland. Where we were parked. Then we went to Buffalo Wild Wings and had supper. So now we are back on the road.

Freedom - Braveheart

Braveheart just came up in conversation. There was some disagreement over whether Mel Gibson's character said "You can take our lives" or "You can take our wives."

Indiana State Line

Just made our first pitstop 20 miles into Indiana. Met a bunch of folks from the Sheboygan Liberty Coalition at the McDonalds. I heard on the radio that there were buses heading out of Milwaukee for DC this weekend, but I wasn't sure how many. They said they were able to rent the last bus from the bus company and have a full group with a suburban in tow. Pretty cool.

One of the guys from the bus gave me a card with their website:
