My aunt Susan and her darling family visited Washington this week and we got to hang out with them! The kids kept Ethan's attention and pushed his stroller the whole time, so I had such a great time visiting with Sus! It was so fun to see them!
Ethan and I decided to bail out of touring with them early Friday and go home and take a nap. We stopped at the corner of 15th street and Constitution because police officers were blocking the intersection. Then, after several motorcycles and black SUVs drove through, I noticed the flags - one American, one presidential seal - on two large black cars and realized it was the president en route to the White House. As the second car slowed around my corner, I saw President Bush in the back. Though the windows were tinted, I could tell he was looking at me (also because there was no one else in my vicinity). And then he waved. Then I waved. We totally shared a moment! ;-)
I know people who loathe George W. Bush and I know people who adore the guy. I'd have to say I'm somewhere in the middle (I know, what a stance to take, huh?) of those two positions. And I know some of you fellow bloggers see him all the time, so this is nothing to you. But it was pretty awesome for me to see that controversial man so close up.

sooooo cool!!! i'm actually feeling a little bad for the guy these days. i think he's made some bad decisions, but i think he is an admirable individual for many reasons that i won't discuss at this moment. i would love to get a wave from him! i just keep thinking of wendy falling down on capital hill and flashing the secret service. i think you had a way better encounter.
That's awesome! You always get to see and do so many cool things.
I'm going to ask you one more time... when the heck are you guys going to come visit us?!
Very cool. You've experienced so many wonderful things while living in D.C.! Lucky you!
I think that I would feel pretty freaking special if that happened to me! Awesome story!
Way cool Megan! Hey I was excited when Bill waved at us in the White House tour and I wasn't even a fence sitter over him.
awesome dc experience, megan!
That is so neat! When he flew out of Utah a couple of weeks ago I grabbed the twins and headed out w/ the camera. He flew right over our house and I took a lot of pictures. It was sad when I only found blue sky in every picture!
