Yes, I slept in my office cafeteria

And so it begins (I think these first few photos were taken around 1 AM)
I took this photo from the street (looking inside at K and M):


One of my favorite photos (do you see the Capitol in the background??):


Sunrise:


J sleeping in the cafeteria:


8 AM the crowds start pouring in!


Gosh it was nice being all warm inside ;)




This is when they found a suspicious bag. Within seconds they had cleared the area:


Oops someone just apparently didn't notice dropping their PURSE!


Snipers on the roof!


I had a strange fascination with the crazy amount of portapotties:


My fav uniform:


Bush leaving:


Huge thanks to K for letting me borrow these 2 photos. I decided to take videos of the actual parade/procession (will post those tomorrow) and borrow K's amazing photos.
BIDEN! (click to make the photo bigger)


Obama and family (click to make the photo bigger)

(Obama is on the left, his wife to the right, and the girls are riding backwards-Malia is waving on the left)
