DC Pre-Inauguration

Jan 23, 2009 by     2 Comments    Posted under: Updates

Tim and I got back from our hectic trip to NYC on the 18th.   We were up early the next day to go to DC to see the pre-inauguration preparations.  In much warmer weather we were prepared.  With fresh new batteries and newly formated cards, we hit DC with renewed energy.   Here are some photos with captions explaining the story of the day.

 

The plan was to take the metro, but we were met with a massive queue just to buy the tickets...so on to plan B...driving into DC and finding free parking

Once we got to DC, we were not overwhelmed by the crowd but more by the amount of Obama merchandising.  Buttons, T-shirts, ties, bags...anything you can think of!
