If you aren't able to tell what is going on in the photo above, my buddy Anderson and I are hanging out on the National Mall mere hours before President Obama's inauguration. That is correct. I was present for the inauguration. I felt that it was almost necessary to go being that I had driven down to Springfield, IL., (with Anderson and Fleck) nearly two years earlier to watch then Senator Obama announce his intentions to run for President. That looked a little something like this...
The whole experience was awesome. We had a great viewing area since we received tickets from the great Congressman from Minnesota's 1st District. Granted, we couldn't actually see President Obama very well since he was still quite a distance away, but getting a chance to be there live was rockin'! This is pretty much what our view looked like...
The speech Obama gave was also excellent. I think he made it very clear that he is planning on going in a much different direction that what has been happening in the past eight years, which is much needed.
As a whole, the experience was unforgettable, and it was awesome to be present for such a historical moment. How many times do you get a once-in-a-lifetime experience? That's correct, once.
Oh yeah, we also met Dennis Kucinich. Awesome!
