Jan 20

we didnt sleep forreal the night before. got in and showered and in bed around 2:30 and we were back up and out at 4:30am! anything for Obama baby.
i really cnt put into words the feeliing in the air as all these different ppl, all different backgrounds, hopes and dreams, all these races, all these beliefs, coming together to believe once more in America.
and his speech, so powerful.
idk what to say the inauguration was awesome, just to be that close to him, not like he's untouchable or God or anything but hat close to the man who has restored the faith of so many. i was honored. and even tha cold was no hoe i would weather the storm again.
now after the inauguration thats an entirely different story. the parade from the capitol to the whitehouse requires them to close off all of Pennsylvania Ave. ok but everything worthwhile, everything, edible, and everything warm is on the other side! we were trapped on one side for hours! cold! hungry! PISSED! but ya we finally make this voyage across dc to get tp the other side. looking at a map later we clearly walked clean across the entirety of DC. ugh...
was it worth it? you better know it!

my kidds (all 10 =} ) are gonna read about this and ill be able to re-live it for them. thats a hell of an audience.
