All this inauguration celebrating can take a lot out of you. Here, Baby Barack is diving into a bag of M&Ms for energy.Monday is pretty quiet so far. We've been hanging out at our inauguration headquarters watching TV, watching clips of yesterday's concert, and eating, always eating. The current plan is to go to the Kennedy Center to see if we can get tickets to see Aretha. It probably won't happen, but it's worth a try. Then there's another party tonight.
In the morning we've got a big group meeting at JT and Kendall's for the walk down to the Mall for the ceremony. We'll leave at about 8am and it will take about an hour to walk. It is also supposed to be chilly, in the 20s, tomorrow morning. Security will be tight. There will be two choke points, one getting through security and then crossing the parade route. Because those points are limited and they're expecting huge crowds, we may never make it in. Maybe Baby Barack will pull some strings and get us special treatment. JT and Kendall's neighbor, Scott, has received front row tickets for the swearing in. Scott's friend Doug is in town from California and he knows Diane Feinstein. We'll all be living vicariously through them and looking for them on the Jumbotrons that will line the Mall for us regular folks to see what's happening on the Capitol steps.
Enjoying the blog from 50 Burr Drive. Sounds like you are all having fun. Poppop
