Pretty Prints
Yes We Did!
Hi Team! This is my maiden blog - post inaugural, but better late than never applies, right? i've been trying to organize my pix for 2 days now. They're loading to snapfish as i type. i'll add a link when it's finished so you can view all my grainy shots. here's us at the cali bash, all dolled up and ready to meet queen latifah or those kids who sing "dear obama...bop bop bop!"
i'll have to backfill with comments and pix. it was all so exciting i'm not sure where to start. i'm glad we got to share this once in a lifetime experience together. i'm still processing and, in fact, having obama mania withdrawals. i'll do my best to carry on the spirit of our adventure.
did we help make change a reality? Yes We Did!

The networks have done a pretty great job covering every detail of the inauguration, but if you're interested in our personal accounts and pics with our real cameras, check back in a week or so. Overall, it was an honor to be here and spectacular experience.
HAPPY NEW PRESIDENT!!!
And new Secretary of State too!

HAPPY INAUGURATION DAY!!!!
Happy Obama Day!
Happy Biden Day!
We are up, Erich's making us eggs, and we start walking to meet our other friends and then down to the capital at 520. We each presented our cold weather ensemble plans for group approval last night.
We can see people already walking down the street with their gear.

Today was not so good on the pics front. We got a late start and had to pick up our inauguration tix from our respective congressional reps. There was a line approx 4 city blocks long and about 4 deep to get into the bldg. It was the most fun I have ever had in a line. Ethan at Repm Woolsey's off ice reccomended that we get in line no later than 6. It's an hour walk. We are going to bed early.
I then walked around the Capital and saw the stage and where we will all be standing. Leslie and matt have tickets in the blue area, which is the closest "standing area," Erich and I and his friend Mandy have silver tickets which is the furthest standing area. But I have Grandma Eloise's binoculars and we have good cameras.
I did a 2 hour combination walk and jog (in my fancy wool coat with the fur collar) through the city back to Erich and Jessie's place that was 2 of the best hours of my life. More on that and other later while we wait in line and in our spots for hours before the inauguration.
