First photo is the Native American Museum (fabulous food in the cafeteria, btw). This was our first sight of the mall and as the sunlight hit, it was quite beautiful. Just outside the picture inside a building to the left were a TON of military folk getting some kind of briefing. I'd say it was at least 100. It was a glass enclosed atrium, so I could see the whole thing--must not have been classified :)I kept taking photos of the capitol, thinking as I got closer it would be too crowded to get any good ones, yet, I kept getting virtually unobscured photos. I've had more people in my photos at Disney.
I had to work Eddie pretty hard to get out of the stroller for the first photo and then for this, I just posed them and they miraculously posed and seemed to look happy...for now.
Miles and miles of barricades. I don't know where they imported them from, but I think they got every barricade in the US. There were 4 different kinds. The lower silver metal ones you see commonly at events. Then the brown-ish dark ones on the right that are more substantial. That had actually gates that open and closed clearly as security entrances. Then of course the chain link fence with a cement block holding it in place. I sure hope they don't plan on those holding people back. Finally, the cement highway barricades. Wonder how they will handle the staging for the parade. Will have to do some bribing of Eddie while J is asleep to be able to watch the parade. Not sure how I'll be able to watch the inauguration.
