That's so amazing Ana! That's so awesome that you were able to be there in person in spite of the cold. Hope to meet you (and you car) really soon!

"...we must pick ourselves up, dust ourselves off, and begin again the work of remaking America." YES WE CAN!

Luv2xl - It was frigid cold but made the best of it. Trust me I was layered up!!!

LexGrl702 - I hope to meet you too! Love to see another female in the crew :-) Maybe I can get out to College Park tomorrow night.

Apex - Yeah I heard 1.8 mil on the mall and not sure how many for the parade.

Yeah, I heard the cold was brutal. They had first aid tents set up everywhere. But every thing went smooth. It just shows how loved Obama is and how he is able to unite our country.

Definitely try and make it tomorrow, looks like a good turn out already.

That crowd was asolute pandamonium. I couldnt make it to DC for the inauguration, however I did brave the cold for the more intimate Baltimore gathering.

Hey Anna... Happy New Years!!! Good to see your still around

Thanks for sharing the photos , I wish I would have been able to attend. It's a moment in history to be honest that I never thought would have happened in my lifetime.

LexGrl702 - Looks like I'll be leaning towards heading out tonight although I think I got a cold. Boo lol

Beez43 - You were one of the FORTUNATE people who lived in the city and didn't have to walk in the masses to get on Metro. I swore we walked from the Mall to Chinatown just to catch a train. But SO WORTH IT :-)

Batmobile - Thanks Jimmy. Winter I like to hibernate but I'm always there in the background :-)

Trukn1 - Hey Tony!!! Sorry you couldn't be there but I say Baltimore on the news and they were rocking out there. Hope your New Year is starting off well!

GSoup - Oh come on now Carlito, you know to spell my name with one "n". lol Just giving you a hard time. Feliz Ano Nuevo!!! Happy I could be part of history. It's a day we all will remember.

Bigmalik00 - Nice to hear from you too Malik...

I did that on purpose to see if you would catch it since you always make it a point to bust chops when people do that.. LMAO
