The Final Day of CPAC

Today my feet felt much better and I was ready to hit CPAC and meet new people. After arriving I picked up a new pass because my old one was lost, and I also got my ticket for the Women of the Year Award Luncheon. I began the day by listening to Elaine Chao speak, I was terribly tired so I went to get some coffee and I ran into of all people Robert Davi. Being my usual self I had no idea what he looked like and I think I offended him terribly when I asked him exactly who he was. After he told me I felt like an idiot. Anyway after coffee, I worked my way back to the conference room to try and catch a glimpse of Ann Coulter. By the time I got a good seat it was already time for the Lady's Luncheon so off I went. We had a delicious luncheon, it consisted of a chicken caesar salad, roll, and for desert the best cheesecake with raspberries I have ever had ending with a coffee. The luncheon speaker was great she answered many of our questions and inspired me to become a more bold person for my own conservative views. After the luncheon was over I went to get in line to hear Rush Limbaugh. Let me tell you the line to hear this guy speak would have probably reached to the moon and back (exaggeration). After a lady told us that the conference room was full and we would have to get in line for an overflow room we did so and the over flow room was full and Rush talked and talked and talked, after taking all I could of the claustrophobic situation we headed back to the room for dinner. I caught the tail end of the Ky game and was just down right sick. Then Whitney and I decided to go shop a little at H&M and have dinner at China Town to be culturally involved we ate Chinese food and it was great. After returning to the hotel, Billy and I decided to visit the monuments in the sleet and snow. I'm very glad we went because it touched me in a way and moved me like nothing I have ever experienced in my life. As I looked out from the Lincoln Memorial I couldn't help but think and recreate in my mind the scene in the movie Forest Gump where Jenny is running through the reflection pond towards Forest and they meet in the middle of the water with such charisma. After visiting the Lincoln Memorial, and the Vietnam Veterans Memorial we headed back to the hotel. On the way back though we got a little disoriented and lost but we made it back safe and sound and I learned many lessons along the way.
