Obama Keeps Himself Busy Kicking Off The Inauguration
By Cassidy Quinn Brettler -- 1/18/09
Washington may be freezing, but the Obama and Biden families have been keeping warm with a flurry of pre-Inauguration activities.
They started the morning going to church and then laying a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier at the Arlington National Cemetery in Arlington, Virginia.
Later both families attended the "We Are
One" concert at the Lincoln Memorial. Ten-year old Malia Obama had her
camera and was taking pictures of her parents and the performers. The
concert included many famous artists such as James Taylor, Bruce
Springsteen, and Stevie Wonder.
The Obamas are staying at
Blair House where the Secret Service has been guarding the door.
Tonight there were no crowds around the building but only a small group
of middle school students on a tour stopped by. Tuesday the Obamas and
their children will officially move into the White House.
