Final Day at DOI for Daddy and Mommy

I left daycare a little early today along with my friend Sidney to join our parents (and encourage mommy, who was dragging her feet with the office clean-up) for their final hours at the Department of the Interior. Daddy worked there since the beginning in 2001 while mommy was there since 2002 under the Bush Administration. I'm told I'm a product of the Administration -- the accomplishment daddy says he's most proud of during his tenure. Mommy jokingly says she's a work in progress for daddy. Apparently, they worked with some fun coworkers, worked hard, and were delighted by the opportunity to do so. Good times they were.

One last shot of daddy's office view of Mr. Jefferson and the WWII Memorial (through the trees).

Don't pack me, Tricia!


Mommy's dear friend Ashley.


How did daddy make THIS list at each security desk posting?


Really, who does this guy think he is? (Secretary Kempthorne)

Again, unless that's President Bush on the phone, I'm occupied. Oh, but thank you for letting Sidney and me use your chair. Running and crawling around your big office is tiring work.

Try to catch me, Tami (Secretary's photographer whom mommy's travelled with a lot.)
