Food court inside the Native American Museum
This is the space Jess had her event in from work. She helped plan an event for Hispanic Business Association of Washington DC. There were over 200 people in attendance.

This is the building: Native American Museum where the event was held

From the Native American Museum, we took the metro at Union Station to near the White House. This is the building next to the White House; the Eisenhouwer Executive Office Building. This is the building where Jessica visited January 7 with people from work that did
work on the event at the Native American Museum.

Welcome to the White House
There was all kinds of construction going on right in front of the White House in preparation for the Inauguation on January 20 of President-elect Obama.
You can't see it very good, but we are standing in front of the White House.

National Christmas Tree and Washington Monument at night....We walked around the back of the White House where there was a long line of people standing in line waiting to get into the White House. Apparently, there was event President and Mrs. Bush were hosting (that, as Jess said, "We weren't invited to." haha...)

From the White House, we walked back to where we got the train and rode back to Union Station. There we visited the Starbucks where Jess gets coffee on her way to work in the morning. We also got to see a little sandwich shop (below) where she often has lunch.
