It seems I have some catching up to do on here... here it goes...Inauguration Day... I didn't make it to Washington DC, which was the orginal plan. I should have booked a bus months in advance. Even that was not a definite that I would have made it there, apparently.
I ended up going to Atlantic City in the morning looking for some local Inauguration Day events & found absolutly nothing. I asked alot of people, including the Atlantic City police, whom only replied, "You should have went to DC". No kidding, but, does'nt Inauguration Day happen all over the country? To be fair, Martain Luther King Day was the day before & there were events that day, so maybe thats all they could do.
At 10:45am, I decided to go to Philadelphia,PA. I took off from Atlantic City & made it there at noon, parked under Independence Mall, ran up the stairs & made it there just in time for President Obama's speech with about 200 other people!
It was so exciting to be there! I went with my best friend of almost 30 years. After that, we went to the Liberty Bell, The Constitution Center and there we signed the Constitution. It was an AMAZING day & I felt honored to be part of it. It was the best day in history that I have been a part of.
