Thank goodness not a lot to write about today as we have a 3:30am wake-up call!
We had a relaxing morning laying around the room and eating breakfast and left to go into the city around one o’clock. We got off the metro at the Capitol South station and made our way to the House offices to pick up Inaugural tickets. The line of people waiting wrapped around multi sides of the block. My roommate being a champ stood inline by herself and waited to pickup her tickets. The rest of us went to H&M. We met later at the Air and Space Museum and went to dinner. Nothing eventful happened and it was a lovely evening with everyone.
The crowds have officially arrived in D.C. There are lines to get down on the metro platforms and no place to walk on the sidewalks. Tomorrow will be an interesting day as we are planning to go to the metro at 4;30am. Expecting massive crowds we have already decided to walk back from the Mall to our hotel. It is a six mile trek but we are figuring it will be easier than battling the crowds. I am very excited for tomorrow but I am slightly disappointed that I have ball tickets. I feel very lucky that I have the opportunity to attend the event but I will miss spending the last night with everyone.
