We were on the National Mall today for President Obama's swearing-in ceremony. It was a crazy day with lots of walking (even though we live within a mile of the Capitol, it took almost 3 hours to walk to our vantage point and 2 hours to walk home after!) and detours and crowds (estimates are up to 2 million), but totally worth it to be there for this historic moment. The crowd was very mellow and polite (and incredibly excited when Obama made his appearance), and it was very moving to be there with so many African Americans who had been waiting for this for such a long time. Here are some pics of all the chaos - we were nowhere near close enough to have pics of the actual ceremony, but the news outlets will have plenty of that anyway.
