I know that most of the country has moved on and all of the tourists are gone but...I thought some of you might be interested the Smith Family Inaguraul experience. First, let me just say that I have never seen so many people in DC. There were crowds everywhere. We walked up to the market and there were crowds. We walked to the park and there were crowds. It was crazy.
Given the tight security restrictions (no strollers, no bags, etc), we decided to stay home for most of the festivities. We only live about 2 blocks from the Capitol so we were actually closer while sitting on our couch then a lot of the people watching on the Mall. It wasn't as festive inside our house but it was a lot warmer.
We also went to the Michigan Dinner Dance held at the Smithsonian Museum of American History. I hadn't been to the Museum in years since it's been closed for renovation. It was really neat to be able to walk around and look at the exhibits. The evening included "Michigan" food (cherries and fish not coney dogs), a Motown band, and free booze. All in all a good time. Thanks to the MoGo for hanging out on the couch so we could go.
