Coulter, Rush and Kaylee

The day started out with Elaine Chao and Ann Coulter who was just great! She knew exactly what to say to get the crowd fired up. The girls left after Ann Coulter to go to a woman's luncheon that featured Bay Buchanon. She was one of my favorite speakers of the whole CPAC trip.


It was then time to get back in our seats to get ready for Rush. He was hilarious in his "first address to the nation" (HA). Of course he made some blantant statements, but those only got the audience more energetic.
But to top my night off, I got a visit from my BFF Kaylee! We went to pizza and sat with Turner and Shane and recalled funny stories from our past few days in DC. We were all glad to see a familiar face. Laughing with Kaylee ended my trip to CPAC very nicely.

Arlington, Luncheon, and Baldwin

The day began with a trip to the Arlington Cemetery. It was perfect weather to walk throughout the cemetery. Katharine and I walked to the Arlington Mansion and Kennedy's Grave sight. Here is the view from the mansion looking down onto DC.
After spending some time at Arlington we then took the Metro to CPAC where a few of us attended a Student Luncheon with Speaker Tony Blankley. After a lunch of delicious salmon (my favorite!) we headed over to the Job Fair, and ran into Stephen Baldwin, who said for those who wanted pictures with him to head over to his book signing. I hope you enjoy this picture of Whitney, myself and Katharine with Stephen (what a look!) himself.

What a day!

After arriving in DC, myself and a group of 5 other girls
headed to the National Museum of American History, which I was so
excited about because that's where Dorthy's Ruby Red Slippers are, and
being the Broadway Geek that I am, had to see them in person! And Julia
Child's kitchen inspired me to cook everyone dinner tonight...but that
didn't happen...

After the Museum we went to the Holocaust Museum, which was such an
experience and made me tear up reading quotes from survivors.

After the long day of LOTS of walking, a group of 7 of us went to a
really cute little Chinese restraunt and our now getting ready for bed
because most of us have been up since 4AM, earlier for some.

I am excited for the Political Television Reporting workshop tomorrow,
because that's exactly what I would love to do.
