We live within driving distance to DC and have family there to spend the night with -- would you take your five-yr-old to see the funeral procession? How 'bout a 3-yr-old?

We are in Phoenix and she isn't quite getting the whole idea and has dealt with several family deaths over the past four years.

She won't let me watch TV or check the net right now.

Sorry for your losses. We have been spared (so far) and have only lost a beloved pet.

I just know that this is history in the making and I want her and her brother to be there. Had I been 5 and living close to DC, I would have hoped that my parents would have taken me to the JFK procession.

BTW, they are napping, so I can FReep and watch TV and listen to Rush to my heart's content!!!!
