Section 12 was the lower left part of the orange area above. Essentially, we were on the lawn of the Capitol. We weren't ridiculously close, but you felt like you might be when there were so many people behind you!!
To say the least, it was a teensy bit crowded on the Metro...
Nate with Super Bowl winning coach Tony Dungee.
This is how close we were--we had better seats than Jaime Foxx!!
And Linda Carter!
But Halle was there before us.
And Forrest had better seats than us--section 10.
But we were better off than a lot.
Yes there are literally people holding flags as far as the eye can see.
Can you see Aretha?
Or Obama? The white column in the center of the stage is where all the action took place.
He's a little speck-y (and this pic is very crooked!).
And the ceremony was over. We spent about four hours in 12-14 degree weather. Brr!
My favorite moment of the day!
President Uchtdorf and Elder Ballard, both Apostles of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. These are church celebs, if we have such a thing--way cooler for us than anyone else we saw or heard that day (sorry O).
One last shot, from the orchestra pit directly under the podium.

AMAZING PICTURES!! Uchdorf and Ballard would have been my favorites too!
what a cool experience! those are great pictures! Mike was really excited to see the pics too. What an amazing opportunity!
Super cool! Just to say you were there is awesome, let alone to be so close! The pictures are wonderful, but you do look cold!
That is awesome. Love the last picture of you guys. A day to remember for sure. So cool.
You guys got amazing seats!! Aaron was there too but I have no idea where he sat. I did not vote for Obama, but I have a lot of admiration for eloquence and oratory skills. I got chills watching the music and speeches on the internet, how cool that you were a part of such a historic event and you even got to meet the apostles! (I love E. Uchtdorf's talks!)
WOW!!!
I was one of those bitty bitty specks about 5 jumbotrons back but it was really fun to be there anyway!
Awesome pictures!
I love it! You saw so many people!!
Nate, I showed Corb the pic of you and Tony, and he said to tell you that he is so jealous.
Wow what a choice experience! We are so jealous! The pictures were amazing. I am sure you will never forget that experience, and what a cool thing to come home and tell the kids. I was teaching the kids a song about our new president, and it was fun for me to know someone that was able to go to the inaguration. Thats really neat I am so glad you posted this!
