Inauguration - Sunday 1/18/2009


Arriving into DC too late to partake in the concert on the Mall, we were able to enjoy a Kennedy Center concert. The artist featured was N’dambi. You can check out a recording of the show by clicking this “Link” to the Kennedy Center.

We told security that we left our invitation back in the hotel. If we had on our after 5 attire versus our ski gear we may have gained entry.
