DC Day 4

I was supposed to go to a panel this morning but slept in. I couldn't fall asleep last night, so waking up this morning wasn't an option. Instead I took my precious time getting to the exhibits to go talk to some vendors I needed to talk to for work. This is my least favorite part of a conference - the talking to sales people to see whats new in library land. But I braved it, and moved on as quickly as possible.

Then I totally randomly ran into the rest of my SF pals I didn't see at dinner last night, which ruled! Yay! Old friends weee! After catching up a bit, I chilled at the hotel then met up with my cousin Kristin. Her, my other cousin, and I drove to Arlington where their oldest brother and his wife lives. We grilled turkey burgers and talked for a few hours. It was really nice to see all of them. Now I'm back in my room and watching Big Love on the free HBO I'm getting. Vacations rule.

Tomorrow I have to attend a meeting for a committee I'm on, but then my conference obligations are over! I just got my holocaust museum timed pass for Tuesday at noon. Tomorrow afternoon I'll try and hit up the Library of Congress and/or the National Archives.
