Gosh I love programs that bring college students from around the country here to DC! That’s how I first came to know and love this city, and I can’t help but hope that some of these intelligent young men and women take my lead. Today… Read More
I recently attended the Annual Marketing Outlook Meeting of the Washington Convention and Tourism Corporation (WCTC) in DC’s own amazing convention center. Besides hobnobbing with some of the best and brightest business minds in the area, I learned a TON about what DC is doing… Read More

It’s been almost a full month since our first baby anteater was born at the National Zoo to Momma Giant Anteater, Maripis. This is exciting, not only because we can’t expect a baby panda every year like last year, but also because these animals eat… Read More
I’m not a personal friend of the twins… but this is certainly very fun news. Our oldest First Daughter, Jenna Bush, is engaged! Yes, Henry Hager finally popped the question. Maybe when Jenna is finished with her upcoming book tour and Henry has finished his… Read More
