President Obama, Inauguration Day!!!!!!!!

Sha na na na, hey hey hey, goodbye forever to George W. Bush. I can hardly believe it is over.

Today was madness. We walked from north of Dupont Circle to the National Monument. For those of you not familiar with DC, that is roughly from 20th and T street down to 16th and A.

On the way we picked up our free inaugural Krispy Kreme. By about K street, we had already reached the throngs of people. It was surreal. Streets with no traffic, just thousands upon thousands of people walking jubilantly in the same direction.

We stood just under the National Monument and watched on a jumbo screen. When Bush came out, everyone heckled him.



When Obama came out, the crowd went nuts.




I was amazed at how chill everyone was. The crowd was so thick on the way out, it took us an hour to walk about a block. Everyone was tired and cold as hell, but no shoving matches or drama at all. Lots of love in that crowd. We are, as the sign says below, "one nation under a groove."
