1st Day

I am officially living in Washington, DC.  Wow, I'm not sure the impact of that has quite hit me yet, but I'm incredibly excited for what this city brings.  As Uncle Tom was driving me downtown (after picking me up from the airport and bringing me home for pancakes and coffee, which i greatly appreciated) I got more and more excited seeing all the awesome buildings, the memorials, the different departments of our government.  I can look out the window of my apartment and see the Capitol building and the Washington Monument.  Last night a bunch of us walked a few blocks to see the Capitol at night and we also walked by the Supreme Court.  Just to be in a city where all of that is so close is mesmerizing.

The Heritage Foundation is an interesting place.  It will be fun to see how things are living here.  It's a very conservative organization.  In fact, if I were to want to write anything in support (or opposition to) any political candidate in this blog post, I'd have to leave the building, because we aren't allowed to use Heritage resources to support or oppose any political candidate.  But the room is nice, and the kitchen is nice, and being a block from Union Station pretty much everything is super easy to get to, just have to hop on the METRO.

More to come in the next few days...
