YES WE CAN!!! And we did at that!
Zowie! After an arduous drive from Boston, a quick nap, shower, and grub we headed down to DC for the inauguration. We were one of the "lucky ones". My dad lives in Maryland and commutes to work in DC. We had a nice, comfy, warm place to crash. We made it to his house at six-ish (mind you, I had been on the road since 1am when I left Boston). A very delicious lasagna awaited us. With our bellies full, Jack Bauer on the 60inch TV, and a "briefing" about transit, we nestled into slumber. Five AM came to quickly. We winterized ourselves. Like we were back in Fairbanks, Alaska winterized. LOL Layers upon layers upon layers. It was going to be a long frigid day. Dad drove us to the commuter bus meeting spot. We boarded the bus and took off for the half hour drive to the metro station. Easy Peasy. The metro station, the green line, will take us strait into the belly of the beast. The metro itself was no different than the 1 or 9 in New York City or the Central Line in Lon
