Here are some photos from the State Department celebration yesterday as well as a party at the State Department today to send the Secretary off. Daddy got to talk to another very famous person there.

Oh, and an anecdote from yesterday: the Secretary was talking to the girls and Daddy, and at one point she couldn't come up with a word she wanted to say. A supplied the word – "special" – and later the Secretary told A that she could come and help her come up with words anytime. Very sweet.

Here are some pics:
