A day that will go down in history...

It has been a cold, cozy day where you want to stay curled up on the couch in front of the fire. Since we woke up this morning we have watched Inauguration coverage. The kids don't realize the importance at their age, but one day, I hope they can look back on this picture and remember where they were when America swore in their first African American president.
Each generation will have events that they remember where they were when..this or ..that happened. We will remember 911 and where we were, when the Challenger exploded, my mom remembers President Kennedy's assassination. And now something joyful to be able to relay first hand about our nations history. I hope everybody is enjoying this little piece of history. I love to see all the different branches of government and parties come together in unity for this event.

Ann's FLVS political science class had a "webinar" during it too. The teacher was the moderator and had them in discussion... it was interesting.

Yes, it was a historic day. that being said it was a very sad day for me. not because of the color of his skin but because of his ideas and plans for America. Already he has lifted a ban on federally funded abortions. If feel like America is very decieved and we will get what was voted for.
