Ted Kennedy memorial

This weekend, James, Tamara, Andrew, and James's friend Scott went to the Capitol to see the Ted Kennedy funeral procession (our first big DC memorial event). The motorcade was a few hours late arriving from Andrews Air Force Base (they had flown the whole group and the casket up from Boston where the funeral service was in the morning), so we had to stand in the hot sun for a while, but they eventually arrived. Just before the hearse pulled into the Capitol grounds another, smaller motorcade stopped in front of us and Arnold Schwartzenegger got out....pretty cool! He's shorter in person, though. Anyways, there were some speeches we couldn't hear (not enough speakers) and the crowd sang God Bless America, and then the whole convoy drove off to Arlington Cemetary for the burial. I couldn't identify most of the family and friends in the limos, but I did see John Kerry. Here are some pics....they were shot over people's heads, so they aren't great, but you get the idea....
