Lucky (Hard Work Really)

Secret Service

Today was Inauguration Day and there were millions of people there. It all began when we woke up at 3:30 am. I was so excited because of all of the commotion from everyone. We were planning on it to be very cold, so we had on wear 2-3 layers. On our way to the metro station we met up with a journalist of EDWeek and she took a few pictures of us .

The streets were jam packed with people who were proabably there since 1:00 am which was very amazing considering that we got there at 4:45 but didnt get past security until 9:00. Going through the lines into the Inauguration was a different and interesting experience. We were the most well behaved people there, even the adults were acting obnoxious and rude. They pushed and shoved I was amazed that we all stayed together and no one got hurt.

This event was one of the most heavily secured events I have every been to. There were snipers on roof tops, at the front gate you couldnt bring in food or liquids, and they had to pat you down to make sure you had no weapons.

I am very happy to be able to be one of the millions that was able to see Obama in person say his insightful speech and be sworn in to the White House. Come to our website to read all about my last two days in Washington D.C.
