The Inauguration was finally here! We woke up really early about 6 AM then had a very good breakfast. Then we got all dressed up like marshmallows and went out the door to the metro. When we got to the metro there were lots and lots of people , especially in line for metro tickets. We got through and waited. And there was this one metro that had to wait about 20 minutes, but it went after a while. Then the next metro came and we had to jam ourselves into the car then we had to wait in the car for the metro to move and it eventually did. Then we had to stop between every stop for about 5 minutes. And then finally after after about 50 minutes we got of and no one was lost. (YAY!) So then when we got outside there were millions of people walking everywhere from every direction!
But we managed to get to a good spot. Then we listened to bands and some other music, then after an hour and a half the Inauguration started. First there were about 5 or 6 people who talked and then Joe Biden took the oath. Then someone sang a song and then Barrack Obama took the oath, and while that was happening I was on my dads shoulders to take some pictures and to watch Obama and when the oath was over the person in front of us was so excited that he flung his head back and whacked my head and he didn't even notice. Then we watched Obama's president speech. Then when it was over we went to the world war two memorial. Then we went to the Vietnam memorial, and then walked around. Then we went over to the metro stop and rode "Home" then watched some of the first Inaugural ball. Then went to bed.
And going to the Inauguration and having a black president is very amazing, cause no one thought there would ever be a black president at all and they thought it could never happen but it did, and I got to be a part of a very important thing and I was very grateful that I could be there for it.
