Our Journey to DC for the Inauguration

We wanted to share with everyone, that might be as excited as we are about the Inuguration of our 44th President Barack Obama, our adventure to Washington, DC for this historical event. Our journey really began this last summer when Barack Obama was selected as the Democratic nominee for President at the Denver Convention. Our Republican brother Kevin, living in Littleton, CO, hosted my Mom and sister Jan, who was a sponsor for the Convention representatives from New Mexico, to stay with him while they attended different events. Well that started the sisterly competition as we encouraged greater support for Barack Obama from friends, relatives and even die hard Republicans. Our Mom was the worst or best of all! She spoke to perfect strangers, wherever she was, about how desperately we needed change for our Country. She listens to Air America even more than we do and as Rachel Maddow needs to be "talked down", so did my Mom and at the request of my other siblings. She waited for hours with my other brother John and his wife Susan to see Barack Obama in Espanola and they all had sun burns to prove it.
