Well, yesterday was a great day! I stood outside for 5 hours for the inauguration kick-off!! Wow...talk about an experience. The kick-off was full of a complete line-up of A-listed actors, musicians, and entertainers. I also heard Joe Biden and Barack Obama speak!! Although my group was far back from the Lincoln Memorial, I was able to watch everything on a big jumbotron. I am hoping that my pictures turn out half way decent.
On top of the concert, I attended church at Hyattsville Mennonite Church. It was nice to be able to attend church so far from home. After the concert, I went to the Jefferson Memorial and with Bethany, Vance, and Nate. After walking what seemed like miles to China-town, we were able to fight the wall to wall of thousands of people to make our way into Fuddruckers. Our meal tasted soooo good, as we were not able to eat lunch due to the concert.
Today was another great day. I went to the National Archives and saw the Constitution, the Declaration of Independence, the Bill of Rights, and the Magna Carta. I then was able to get my picture taken in front of the White House and see the Lincoln Memorial and the Vietnam War Memorial.
After a long day in D.C., I am ready for bed, especially since we are leaving our house at 3:45 am for the Metro station!
