BO's House

In preparation of our trip to DC this weekend, we've been talking to Eli about what/where Washington DC is. First he told us Uncle J lived there. We had to correct him, telling him that UJ lives in Washington the STATE, not Washington the....district? Then he got confused about the airplane, thinking we were flying to NOLA (where we'll be in a few weeks for Jazz Fest). Eli was disappointed when he realized that was not the trip we were planning for the next 24 hours. In an effort to cheer him up, Lehr explained to him that we would be in the same city as the President. Eli is very knowledgeable about Barack Obama; between the Spearhead song and school, he seems to know a lot. He keeps asking us, "When are we going to Barack Obama's house?" I told him we'd walk by it, but most likely, we would not see Obama because he would be inside working. Then he asked if we could touch the windows. Not unless you want secret service on your six, son....

Now that I know you were packing for DC, I hope you didn't take my advice about the toothbrush and bathing suit. Seems a bit inappropriate now. :)
