Woah we are in!

Two plus hours of waiting as the temp dropped and Katie Paige
struggled with the secret service to convince them to open the gate to

perfect view of the length of Pennsylvania Ave. We are 60 feet over
from the official press reviewing stand and I can't imagine a better
view. Thank you Katie!!
