I have been telling you in recent posts about my cousin's daughter who interned for the Obama campaign in Mansfield, Ohio......

Well---she was given tickets to the inauguration----the most historical inauguration that will occur in our life times.....

The first picture is of Washington DC as Nicole went to get in line to get into the inauguration. She apparently was one of the first one hundred people to get in to the inauguration.

Historic....again.....

As the sun rose, Nicole took another picture of the Capitol building.

And then....a picture of Nicole right in front of the Capitol.

I am as proud of this young woman as I possibly could be------she----and many more like her-----are the hope of the future.
