Innaugural Coverage

I heard that too...wouldn't that be awesome? I also read that someone set up a scavenger hunt for the girls throughout the residence while mom & dad were out. How cool is that?!!

Do you know what was at the end of the scavenger hunt?

I am so happy you Americans elected Obama. I am just thrilled and wish we Canadians had someone like him. He will make an awesome president.

The inauguration was cool, even though there were certain people there I felt bad for. It was cold!!!

I work at an urban ministry and I meet kids who have been told for years that they have no future because they cannot succeed in a white world. Now there is substantial proof that what they were being taught was a lie. There are a bunch of empowered kids in this ministry and for that reason alone, I'm glad Obama's president. If he would continue Bush's policy on funding PEPFAR, I will have two reasons to be glad. Kids in Africa will be empowered, too!

I've always been a huge political buff and have watched every inauguration since I was nine. This was the first time most people have ever watched one of those things. There was a huge party in the student center and half the students and faculty had gathered to watch the speech. We are a mostly Republican school, and that says a lot that they were there. The daughters looked gorgeous, as did Michelle. They were all so darn pretty. Preeeetty....

Sorry, lost it for a second.

Anyway, I didn't vote for Obama, but I do respect him as president. I will at least respect him no matter what he does, even if I strongly disagree with his policies. After all, that is the adult thing to do, right? (yes, that was meant as a hint)

God bless America!

Let me tell you, working at a 4-star hotel during the Inauguration was not fun. I would rather work holiday retail at Tysons Corner than go through that again. It was sheer insanity at the spa. Catching up on the podcast in the employee cafeteria during my break made it a little easier. And get this... the kitchen didn't supply cake Luckily I bought a strawberry cupcake before I went into work. Yumm.

That being said, it was fun to get caught up in the excitement coming home on the Metro. Everyone's sandwiched in like sardines but there was lots of smiling and laughter.

Also, I've never ever seen so many Port-a-Potties and fur coats in my entire life.
