The free Welcome Concert at the Lincoln Memorial on Sunday was a great experience and although we weren't even remotely close to the stage it was one of those instances where you are simply proud to be among the hundreds of thousands of people taking it all in. The younger girls were so excited about this event and got there to stake out a place a bit earlier. We were closer to the Washington Monument than we were the Lincoln Memorial but there were video screens everywehre and we simply loved being around all of the excited happy people!

Obama speaking...the crowd was completely silent. It was a bit surreal.

HBO has exclusive rights to this concert, showed it live and has been repeating it ever since. If you have HBO -- be sure to catch this event. No matter your age or taste in music...there was something here for everyone -- there were classic songs from artists old and new, inspriational speeches and an apperance from both Biden & Obama!
