Mr. Blogger Goes to Washington



DSC_0111 – Version 2, originally uploaded by david parmet.

Twin Princess Number One and I had a great couple of days in Our Nation’s Capital – a well deserved break from school and sibling rivalries for the Girl and a chance to show her some history and introduce her to the world of social media for Daddy.

Thursday we got a guided tour of the Capital building led by Zach the Intern from Congressman John Hall’s office. While Zach impressed us with his knowledge of the history of the building – and obvious love and enthusiasm for his opportunity to work on the Hill – he really blew me away by arranging a floor debate between Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi and Minority Leader John Bohner on a proposed extension of UI benefits just as we entered the House Gallery. So I pointed her out to the Girl and mumbled something about positive female role models. She was more concerned with lunch.

Friday was Blog Potomac and while I will leave the details to another post, I have to give kudos to Geoff Livingston for the event. It was a great lineup of speakers and a great venue.

And now… back to work.
