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 ;)

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.
