cupcakes for change!

at times, being at the inaugural felt like we were navigating a souk of obama-gear, from the white house to the capitol building to the lincoln monument. a ginormous obama swapmeet, if you will. reportedly, over 550 licensed vendors were showing their goods, all manner of tacky t-shirts, hats, backpacks, baby onesies, pins, pens, mousepads, bags, totes, magnets, postcards, calendars, you name it they had it. on second thought, i shoulda grabbed that pink 'michelle first lady' apron when i had the chance!!

but here's our favorite: cupcakes! dylan grabbed his at the newseum cafe, the first museum dedicated to the history of print and broadcast news, a fascinating, engaging place in d.c. it was definitely a highlight of the trip.
