Long Transit to the Land of Obama

9:44 PM (West coast...)

Hello all, 

Well I recently returned from a week long escapade to Washington D.C. for an event called Lobby Days with Invisible Children. I decided to fly out to D.C. with a standby ticket, because I saved $200. I flew from San Diego at 6am

 and got stuck in Dallas for six hours waiting for room to open up on a flight, but I finally made it to D.C. And let me tell you that DFW does not have six hours worth of entertainment to offer. Paige I hate Dallas.

So, I had to opportunity to lobby to senators and reps (but I failed to mention that I did not form part of the constituents since I am not a citizen...) oops! Well I had a blast spending the week visiting famous sights of this nation's core, visiting museums, and of course going out on the town. IC had a VIP party for celebrities and staff that attended our event. Don't worry about it...I met Owen Wilson and he's a lot shorter 

in person than I imagined. For those of you that were wondering...

Now, on my flight home. I flew out of D.C. at 6am (once again bright and early) and this time I got stuck in Chicago for 13hrs! I had no friends, no ipod, no magazines, and two hours of sleep from the previous night.  The most exciting thing that happened was that I got to watch Oprah's boyfriend, Stedman, board a flight that I deserved to be on. 

After all, I truly loved Washington D.C. and all of you Americans should be proud to have such wonderful capital. 

Love, 

Sol
