MLK Day of Service opportunities for DC folks -everything from baking to knitting!

Just learned they're building a #MLK memorial in DC. Can't wait to take my kids to see it! My 7 year old idolizes him, which is pretty cool.

I stood where #MLK gave his speech when I went to DC on vacation a few years ago. It was pretty damn cool. #MLKday

in honor of mlk jr i really wanted to go to dc today but that didnt happen.

need to get out of DC's weather soon, thinking Aruba

Wrong metro. Clearly not awake today :/

Working on a fairly substantial holiday is never fun, the good part is there's LESS traffic. not NO traffic, because DC is still overcrowded

I wore soccer jerseys every day at MAGFest. Passed a DC Unitedfan while wearing Sounders; responded with "C'mon the U!", confused him bad.
