I ADORE them & am going to miss all their White House videos terribly. I have a Scottie, that's probably why. |
No Barney. :) And I would have gone no matter WHO was taking office. If I get the opportunity the next time, I'd do the same.
I'm not a terribly fancy person, not at all - it was the second (and last) time I've had my nails done. But I went to an outlet store on International Drive, and I picked up a pretty dress for $15.00! The shawl was a little more, but the whole outfit with shoes was probably less than $60.00. I did my own hair. DH got a tux from a local mall, which he picked up in the DC area and dropped off along the way. I'm sure it was cheaper to order it here than it would have been there! We had another event that we were going to while there, I needed a dress for that. I picked up a dress at the same store (I LOVED the dress, but I've lost too much weight since and gave it away) for about $29.00. I'm really cheap! I expect I used some cheap accessories from my drawer too, I have very little of any sort of jewelry.
