The Inauguration of Barack Obama

Seth and me awaiting the Inauguration at our prime location.

I had the camera zoomed way in... oops!

Seth had to lie down during our long wait... he was chilly, but some hot chocolate helped.

The jumbotron with the Capitol on display.

We were so far back that our screen actually faced the Lincoln, not the Capitol! Crazy! We tried, but were just too late to get any closer!

SO MANY PEOPLE!

Chilly feet!

The Main Event!!! OBAMA becomes President of the United States of America! I'm so happy-- and so hopeful!

We walked across the Memorial Bridge afterward to catch the train in Arlington...

... so did lots of other people!
