Today was President Obama's inauguration. Well, the real inauguration was yesterday since the Constitution says that the President has to be sworn in on January 20th, but the big celebration was today. It was also Martin Luther King Day and we had a day off.

During the inauguration many streets in DC were closed of course and there were hundreds of thousands of visitors in the area so it was very busy. In the morning we watched the ceremony and parade on TV. In the afternoon we walked to the Memorial Bridge where we saw a many people returning from the city to the Arlington Cemetery Metro.

A sign in Rosslyn pointed the way.

Nora likes to sit on my shoulders.

The Memorial Bridge was closed for vehicle traffic. We looked at some airplanes from the bridge and then returned home.
