The Day Before Inauguration

We went down to the DC Mall today to see the pre-inauguration crowds.

The Lincoln Memorial - scene of last night's concert. The worker are taking down the stage - this is as close as we could get to the memorial.

    Do your children have gloves or mittens? Their hands look cold!

    The pictures are worth a thousand words, for sure. We watched the inaugural oath and speech in our office over the internet. It failed in the midst of the poem. But we heard the entire speech! Yeah, technology!
