Malia and Sasha's coats - so posh!
The place looked fab!
The secret service agents always look sharp!
George Sr. and Barbara Bush in their purple scarves(not red or blue, but a mix of the two colors, to symbolize neutrality)
A great symbol of respect for the new President
Yo-Yo Ma quartet's performance of "Air and Simple Gifts" brought tears to my eyes
(I'm nerdy like that)
Aretha's performance was awesome, of course,
Aretha's performance was awesome, of course,...but that hat!... I love it!

Wow - you covered all of them for me.
The purple scarves - I missed the red/blue symbolism. Very nice. And classy.
And the girl's coats - adorable! I heard rumor they were J. Crew. I need to have Hubs look into a little stock purchase tomorrow.
Thanks for this lovely post!!
You definitely picked the best parts!!!!!!!!! I loved the way you summed it up.
Obama sure moves the people with his speeches.
Love the pics! Thanks for sharing!
And let's not forget George Sr.'s hat, LOL!!
And what about Jill Biden's red coat and those boots, love them!!
Whole day turned out beautiful!
Emma told me she liked Obama's speech and the old guy and the poet-lady. Not too bad for a seven-year-old.
BTW, I totally had a dream last night that you and Chloe surprised me with a visit. It was a happy dream :)
What an amazing piece of history that we were able to watch.
The purple scarves were great. I missed the actual speech, will have to see if I can find it on YouTube.
I thought the scarves were awesome too! I did NOT however like Michelle Obamas attire! She looked like big bird! She's too nice looking to be in something like that!

I know I already commented, but I just keep thinking how truly great that hat is. So I had to say so just in case I already didn't. And if I did, it's a great enough hat to say so again. :)
