Presidential Inauguration

                              Presidential Inauguration

Today I had the opportunity to go to the Inauguration of President Obama. As you can see by the picture below I was surrounded by people, and the screen only goes to show how many people were actually there. (I don't know if you can tell, but yes, those little dots are people) .

 We stood outside from 8:00am until the end of the Inauguration at about 1:30- 2:00 pm. It was a long chilly morning to say the least. I thought I had lost one of my toes, but it's ok now... she just needed some warmth.

President Obama was sworn into office on two bibles, the Bible of Abraham Lincoln and the Bible of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

 I don't know if going to this was a once in a lifetime thing (I kind of hope not) but It was definitely an amazing experience, despite the frostbite I may have gotten.

There were people walking around handing out American flags, and every time you would normally have clapped the flags would go crazy instead. It was cool to see on screen sure, but even cooler to see in person.

 

Look at the snipers on top of the building!

We did get to see Kelly Clarkson and Beyonce preform at the event, although I don't care much for either of them so I didn't take any pictures. But some people were more excited when Jay Z and Beyonce showed up than when the President himself got out of the car. I wish it wasn't as cloudy, a lot of my pictures would have turned out better. But you get the point.
