I just got home not too long ago from the inauguration...still trying to thaw out. It was an incredible experience and I am so glad I was able to take my son down to experience it. Yes, I was freezing my butt off and am tired as heck but it was all worth it. It was so refreshing to look around and be among people from different backgrounds, religions AND political parties who came together as 1 Nation. I think our president is someone refreshing and new who has brought back a sense of togetherness no matter who you are or where you come from, there is no "us" or "them". The screams and emotions at the moment he was officially sworn in was a sight to see, hear & be a part of....
We went down to the mall then over to the parade route. Then while we were at it, I took my son to the Lincoln House for a tour. I met so many people from everywhere....what an experience!
