After a short 6 hour drive, we arrived in DC and encountered: NO problem. (you know how the weather people always scare us when potential bad weather is on the way? Well, same with this celebration! Not bad. We are so happy to be part of this!)
The city is giddy. Buildings are decorated for the celebration. Streets closed. Music blaring. Just a really huge party
Howard, Aaron, Rebecca and I went to the Convention Center to pick up our Midwest Ball Tickets
and then spent the remainder of the afternoon on the Mall watching people (lots of them!) and listening to the concert: We are the One: The Obama Inaugural Celebration at the Lincoln Memorial. It was great. People dancing, singing cheering, carrying on. Then when Obama started to speak: SILENCE. Awesome.
Now, I'm rushing to change into some party clothes (yes! flat shoes!) to go the Ohio's Celebration.
Stay tuned
