Arrival and First Day in Washington D.C.

After our flight out of Nashville, meeting a Fox News Channel personality, and getting our luggage, we arrived in Washington D.C. and our hotel for the duration of our CPAC Confrence. Our group then proceeded to buy Metro passes to get around the city where afterwards people in our group split and my group along with Dr. Turner, Shane,Jeremy,and Laura among others that I may have forgotten about went to eat lunch at McDonalds near Judiciary Square. Then we went on to the Newseum where we looked at stuff that has to do with the different events that have shaped our public perception and have shaped our history. I saw some of the Berlin Wall and a watchtower that was near Checkpoint Charlie that was near the American Sector of Berlin. I also saw a piece of the twin towers of the World Trade Center. I also saw some Pulitzer Prize winning photography on exhibit. After the Newseum, we went to the United States Naval Memorial and we stopped at Ford's Theater where President Lincoln was assassinated. We did not go in because the theater was closed for maintenance until spring of 2009. After we saw the sights we went back onto the Metro to register for the Conservative Political Action Confrence at the Omni Shoreham Hotel. Tonight, we went out to eat at a steakhouse called The Front Page. I look forward to my first day at CPAC and I will post more in the days to come.
