I am attempting to make a personal update of Lukas's adventure in DC for the inauguration . Lukas will be sending me pictures via his cell phone and I will try to upload them and share with everyone his daily experiences. Make sure to check us out daily.

Jim will be accompanying Lukas on his trip, but will be with him as far as the plane ride only. Once Lukas is dropped off at his hotel, he will be on his own for the duration. Security is so tight that Jim will only be able to communicate with Lukas via phone. So.....this means Jim will be on his own adventure! He is not sure if he will brave the crowds (millions) who will also try to get a glimpse of our first African-American President. I tried desperately to get Jim an official ticket to the inauguration, by submitting letters to Mary Bono and Darrel Issa--but no such luck. I hear most celebrities got first pick! Seems wrong to me. Jim could still attend, but in a spectators only area. I'm not sure how much he would be able to see from these areas. Most likely he will be off visiting the Smithsonian, and just settle for watching the inauguration on TV like the rest of us.

Well, I keep you posted on both their adventures........If there is anything you think that Jim should see while he is in D.C., let me know.
