Instead of working, I've been researching all these websites to see what we should know come D.C. Inauguration time.So, here are some things to know and sites to see:
From National Geographic D.C. planner: (very good site to check out)
The weekend of the inauguration is going to be a huge traffic headache. Navigating the city by car will be extremely difficult. D.C. Metro authorities suggest traveling by public transportation, and highly recommend ordering your SmarTrip Metrocard in advance online (special inauguration editions are now being sold, featuring a portrait of Obama). But even the Metro will only get you so far. Park officials are suggesting that if you're within two miles of the National Mall, you should plan on walking to the site, as the trains, train platforms, and buses are expected to be very crowded.
Here's an Inauguration 101 stie of stuff to know and they have a bunch of links that are helpful as well.
Here is another site about how to walk around in D.C. during the madness. DC has been voted one of the best walking cities, so make the madness fun by getting a up-close-and-personal look at the Capital.
BARS WILL BE OPEN 24/7 DURING THE INAUGURATION.
Silent Rave after the Inauguaration. If you know anything about the flash mob, this will be fun.
Have fun everyone and be safe!

Hi Dani,
What an amazing day you must be having...we tried to see you this morning at the inauguration but no luck. Cool blog - thanks for sharing, we're all really jealous! BTW it's Mary & Sharon from work here with a HUGE FAVOR, Sharon's sister is a huge Obama groupie, if you see any little Obama souvenir items that are easy to pack Sharon will happily reimburse you and be forever in your debt. Continue to have a great trip, enjoy and stay warm.
