What a day!! After hesitating to get up after two 4am mornings, I stumbled out of my bed and proceeded to dress myself (Warmly!!) for the day. The complementary continental breakfast was amazing and I did not hesitate to stuff myself silly since the next opportunity for food would be nearly 10 hours away. Riding the Metro was a headache, but amazing in the sense of that we were all here for the same reason, to witness history. When we finally arrived at our destination approx. 1hr after we boarded, people, people, people!! It was ALMOST like a lambeau field game when it came to the weather and the crowd. When we finally got into line with other silver ticket holder we waited in line for about 1.5hrs before the line started to actually move. Inside the gates, Catie and I went on a view adventure trying to find the best view of the capital as possible. although unsuccessful we did meet a nice lady named Tami from Las Vegas. When the Inauguration finally got underway, it was a feeling of relief like "Yes! This is what we have been waiting for!" What an exciting day overall and maybe I will get the opportunity to see the next Inauguration because it is really an indescribable moment/feeling.
