So I am here in DC with my sister, my mother and my 95 year old grandmother.    Thanks to early planning, we are booked at a hotel right in the heart of downtown dc… not too far from the Capitol.  We have a lot of events to attend over the next few days and then  I have to get to work for TV One as part of the network’s all day coverage on Inauguration day.

I really didn’t expect to see Barack or Michelle and the girls until Tuesday’s swearing in… but I just saw them!!!!!!  Ok… it was actually the President-elect’s motorcade, but when that limo wizzed by, police escort and all,  I got chills. Our car had to pull over as the motorcade flew by, but I caught a quick glipse of what looked like the first family.  I know… why am I so excited about this “glimpse”? Shouldn’t it have sunk in by now?  Not for me.  It can’t believe it is really about to happen.  Barack Obama is about to become our 44th President.
