Mealey D. Goes to Washington
I got up just after 3AM on Inauguration Day and walked to the Mall with my sister and a bunch of friends. We stood for over eight hours in a tight crowd, and braved even tighter crowds on the long walk home. But man, it was so worth it!
I also took a couple videos, which I'll try to upload to YouTube.
What a day! It's going to take me a while before I can fully believe that GWB is no longer our president. So glad we were able to experience it together!
