There's just such a happy buzz in the air... even 40 miles north of Washington, DC. A new day, a new era, a new President. Just counting down the minutes now.
I loved the Inauguration. It is the first one that I've ever watched all the way through. For once, that address actually meant something; usually it just sounds like empty rhetoric to me.
And yes, I agree about Michelle's dress. She looked regal and beautiful and strong.
I'm the LAST to get teary-eyed, but I did during Obama's speech. There is hope. And I felt a whole hell of a lot better when I saw Geo. Bush fly away in that helicopter...

The dress was designed by Isabel Toledo and made with a Swiss wool lace, I believe. Stunning!
