Breakfast with the Birds

And horses, elephants and baseball-headed creatures. I attended the All-Star Game breakfast at the Grand Ballroom of the Waldorf Hotel yesterday. While there were no players in attendance, a few of the mascots came out to take pictures with the kids and entertain the crowd while they ate their eggs. The mascots were all cute and friendly but Screech the Nationals eagle seemed to have had a little too much coffee - he was bouncing around the room, literally shaking a tailfeather at every opportunity. He took some time to flirt with my co-worker, much to her shagrin and even attempted to kiss her hand although he ended up chomping on it with his beak. It was certainly a different way to kick off the week!
