It was just a matter of being in the right place at the right time - with a great plan (THAT was Kristinn's idea). And, you and hubby will have to come back to the area for a (less hectic) visit.
What hectic visit? I had the time of my life FReeping those pinkos and the marching liberals. I will never forget your hospitality.
All FReepers across the country take note...If you ever go to DC for a FReep, you will not regret it!
