Inauguration - What a Party!

The distance between the Capitol Building and the Washington Monument is just under 1 mile, with the crowd for the Inaugural Ceremony estimated at 1,000,000. The 1.7 mile parade route, which leaves the west side of the Capitol Building and heads east on Pennsylvania Avenue, will be lined with people who have left behind any umbrellas, bottles, coolers, signs, and strollers. With temperatures hovering around 30 degrees (with a 19 degree windchill!), many will wish they had a nice thermos of hot chocolate, but no thermoses allowed...
