I Was There (Again!)

Today was President Obama's Second Inauguration. Four years ago I sat on the mall and watched history in the making. Today I sat on the parade route and watched history again, in the re-election of Barack Obama.



We got to our gate at 745, and didn't even get into the parade route until after 900. We were supposed to get in around 800, but nothing ever goes as planned.  We finally got in to the parade route (at H and 15th) and were told to just keep walking towards 17th. So we did, and ended up with this view:


Not too shabby. Also not too shabby were these shots:




There is much more to the story, including freezing my butt off from 730 til about 500, but it was worth it. And now I never have to do it again, haha. 


Oh, and I can't forget these suckers, which saved my hands from falling off:
