It's Almost Inauguration

Just two days before he is sworn in as President of the free world, Obama spoke in front of the Lincoln memorial to thousands of gatherers. The anticipation is insane. By the looks of the already massive crowds, D.C. is going to be a tight fit on Tuesday. Tonight at 2 in the morning, my bus leaves for LaVale, Maryland. No plane for my group, so 14 hours later, we'll be there. LaVale is a couple hours outside of the Capital, but because of enormous security and traffic issues, it'll take about 4 hours to pull up. None of us have any expectations of getting remotely close to the swearing in, but it doesn't really matter. JumboTrons are scattered all over and they'll have a great sound system. One prediction said up to 4 million people could be attending the Inaugural address. After that, only a maximum of 350,000 people are allowed on the parade route, so we have little hope for that as well. Either way, it's pretty historic so I'm anxious to get there. Obama's to be sworn in at 11:30 I believe, so make sure your TV's are on. (Not sure what time that is in other time zones). Don't be lazy, look it up! When I get back on Wednesday, I'll cover some of my trip.
