We witnessed History -- We were there on Inauguration Day!!!!!!

We did it! America did it! I was so honored to be on the National Mall with MILLIONS of people and witness the inauguration of President Obama. It took us only minutes to get on the Mall. We took the Metro into the city from Virginia. Easy Peasy! We watched the Inauguration on the big screen -- cheered with all of the people -- and cried tears of joy! And, then it was time to go home. It took us FOUR (YES FOUR) hours to get out of the city. The boys were exhausted and cold. At one point they broke down crying because they were so cold but they pulled it together. In the end, I know it was an unforgettable day. One they will never forget. Despite the cold and the crowds people were polite and kind. I chatted with strangers in the crowds and everyone stayed in good spirit. What a day! What a wonderful day!

Now, I have a dilemma. I am actually intimidated by the significance of the day and not sure at the moment how I will scrapbook these images. I have yet to scrapbook Obama's Rally in Leesburg Virginia. I think it is kind of like my wedding photos that I have not scrapbooked. I THINK that I want to create a Obama album but that seems like a BIG task -- so I am not sure what I will do. I have also collected a lot of memorabilia and need to include it in the album. I would appreciate any suggestions.

As always thanks for stopping by and HUGS to ya,
