I really wish we could have been in DC today, but it really wouldn't have been feasible. It would have been so amazing to get to witness such an historical event. I can imagine the mood in the city was absolutely electric. I'm consoling myself that we at least we got a chance to see Obama when he was in Seattle. Even Spring was there, though we didn't know it yet!
Taken on November 4th after most of the voting had ended and an Obama victory looked definite. Maybe not the best pics, but we wanted to capture the moment!!

We talked a little bit about this in my class tonight... If you had been in D.C., you would have experienced the event as a part of that community, but way at the back of the Washington Mall, you would have actually witnessed very little. I think 'tis better to have watched it in your living room.
I personally feel energized with his inguaration speech. I watched most of the day and the parade on CSPAN. His energizing comment to pick ourselfs up, dust off, and do what we as Americans do ... has a profound affect on me. I will DO better, not only for me but for my country.

Well, I am hopeful as well, but skeptical. Guess I'm just a bit Jaded by politicians no matter how good their rhetoric is.

This is a blog about my family and I was talking about the change in administration as it relates to my feelings about my family. In the future, I ask that if you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all. -Cammy
