Justin, Alisha & TJ head to DC for the Historical Inauguration of Brack Obama the 44th President. We stayed with Justin's Friend Steve in Friendship Heights and gave him a ticket to Inaugurating & the Youth Ball for housing us. We had a wonderful time and thanks to Steve for making it happen for us.
The We are One Concert was amazing to see in person and it was so nice of U2 to play for such and small intimate crowed. Justin was so amazed and Happy to see not only the Boss but the Boss of Bosses Pete Seager.
Our day of Inauguration was really full of luck. We underestimated our travel time and didn't leave until 7am. On a normal day it would take us 30 min or so to get to the capital. Not today it took 1 & 1/2 hrs just in the Metro. We did have to take different Metro trains due to large crowds and were separated for about an hour with out cell service (a t&t sucks in DC) But some how we all found each other and strolled right in to our ticketed Silver area, just behind the fountain.
It was cold, very cold, their were millions of people and yet we are all excited and Happy!
Waiting patiently for the inauguration of the dare I say the best president in my life time.
After hours of moving with the heard of Millions of people we finally made our way to the other side of the Capital. We broke down fences with sharp shooters watching and just shaking their heads at us. We trampled through gardens just to get out of the their. And Yes we Did make it out!

I am so glad that you guys got to go. Brigham is way envious about you getting to see The Bosses Boss and The Boss. He would've probably have chosen to see that moment over the actual inauguration. I am glad you didn't get hypothermia.
