Concerts of all Concerts

Today is the kickoff to Inauguration weekend. I went to the concert of a lifetime. There was an estimated 700,000 people there filling up the area around the reflection pool and then all the way up to the Washington Monument. We had a pretty good spot about halfway down the pool right below a speaker and Jumbo-tron.

(look at all the people, and that was just in front of us...there were at least double this behind us)

I had such a great time. The atmosphere was electrifying. Everyone was there to celebrate Barack Obama. It was about 30 degrees, but being packed together kept you warm. People were definitely very relaxed, sitting on blankets getting to know the other people around you. Everyone was there for a good time and we definitely got that!

The line up was a once in a lifetime. Everyone from Bruce Springsteen to Beyonce preformed to celebrate. My favorite moment came with Garth Brooks first sang American Pie and then sang “Shout” in which everyone broke out Wedding Crashers style jumping in the air singing.
