After a fun 3 hour train trip from NYC to DC, we are now in ObamaCity.
It is truly his City this weekend. Arriving in Union Station (where he will be in just 2 hours), the place is spruced up and the vibe is exciting.
There are ads from Pepsi and Ikea that use the logo of Obama or the phrase "Embrace Change". The security is in place and almost everyone is wearing an Obama pin or button
I took the Metro over to the DC Convention Center to pick up our tickets and get our schedule of events. It is quite organized and has the efficiency of the Obama Campaign.
The seats and standing areas are all ready at the Mall. Take a look at the picture above. Cathy and Elliott have standing room "spaces" on the Northwest Yellow section, which is the area near the front...which we will have to claim about 4 to 5 hours before the swearing in.
