We are really smart. Instead of getting on the bus at 11:30 to be taken to the Lincoln Memorial to get a seat and wait until the 2:30 start of the concert, your bloggers went back to their hotel, put their feet up and took a break. At 1:30 we walked to the venue, got through security in 3 minutes and look at where we got to watch the concert!! Not bad!
And we are so glad we went. It was spectacular, perfectly run, just the right length. Bruce Springsteen to Garth Brooks, James Taylor to Stevie Wonder, tons of great music, lots of actors reading about the various events that have happened leading up to this moment. Even Tiger Woods spoke! It was a love fest of the best order. I don't know how many people were there......we looked back toward the Washington Monument and saw a virtual sea of people. When Garth Brooks did "Shout" is was quite a sight. We ARE one.
