Should I stay or should I go?

So this week in DC the streets have been abuzz with pre inaguration excitement For the past two weeks my bus route has changed so as not to go by the hotel where the Obamas are staying.

It really is pretty exciting.

I can't decide if I want to go down to the Inauguration on Tuesday. The list maker in me will now outline the pros and cons.

Pros:

*Once in a lifetime (I always regretted living in Utah but not really doing anything Olympicish during the 2002 Winter Olympics);

*The excitement (nothing like being there live)

*Being able to say "I was there." (especially since it is so historic)

Cons:

*Cold (I don't do with the cold, at all. I literally loose feeling in my hands and toes)

*Crowds (This one isn't too bad but I would literally have to devote my day to the event).

We'll see.
