Travel: South Florida

Just a couple notes and pictures from recent trip to South Florida. I previously posted about the Fasig-Tipton Calder thoroughbred sale.

Here’s my review of Summerland Suites, where I stayed in Fort Lauderdale.

Inauguration: Pictures

We left pretty late, around 10AM. No problems on the train from Crystal City, which was about half full. About 15 minutes delay getting out of L’Enfant Plaza Metro. The Mall was already full up there, so we walked west along Independence Avenue to the Washington Monument, where there was a large area with no security screening. We saw half of a Jumbotron, and heard everything. Took off after the swearing in, and walked home over the 14th Street Bridge.

These were taken over the October 17-19, 2008 weekend.
