Washington DC

I am currently in DC for the Inauguration...spent this morning driving around the Mall and various sites before they start restricting traffic this afternoon...security is everywhere and the crowds for Sunday morning were already starting to swell. The Mall from the Capitol to the Lincoln Memorial is lined with speaker and jumbotron installments. We were able to drive the parade route this morning which was very cool, the police and military police are starting to block off street around the Mall and White House. Most bridges crossing the Potomac into the District are already closed to vehicle traffic.

We are going to jump on the Metro to go back to the Mall for the concert this afternoon...hopefully we will get close enough to see/hear a fewof the acts which include; Springsteen, U2, Beyonce, and numerous others.

Here is a pic of the south side of the Capitol where the swearing in ceremony will take place.
