What a waste of time. The heat was blazing, so Aiden and I stayed in the tree shade, pretty far from the stage, so we couldn't hear the speakers very well. Especially when the noisy ambulance parked near us - right in the middle of Colin Powell's speech! Then when they finally let the crowd in, it was mass chaos and nobody knew where to go. I even overheard a volunteer say "I don't know what to tell you." Ridiculous. Plus, the upstairs was having a private party, so us peons couldn't get up there to see the exhibits! We'll definitely go back one day when there's no crowds and the entire museum is open, but that day was a waste.
This is how far away we had to park - not even in the lot, but on the street, so I had to push the stroller over the grass and curbs!

A view of the crowd

After the fanfare the red and white streamers fell. Woo! *sarcasm*

The closest I got to Colin Powell.

I asked Aiden what that man was doing, and he said "he's singing!"

A very blurry picture of the first thing you see when you walk in the doors. I couldn't stop to take a decent pic b/c of the crowd.
