The two local "worker guys" (to be muttered with a gruff, serious voice) took a break from constructing a fully functioning government building made entirely out of Bristle Blocks. [Insert government joke here.]

I wonder if either of them will have a memory of any part what brought us to the this day. I read that some empirical investigations show that even one- and two-year-olds have some long-term memory for certain autobiographical events. You know what that means? Jack will forever remember the time we had to make dinner (gasp!) and didn't have time to play trains for the 987th time (double gasp!). In all seriousness, it would be incredible if one or both of them could carry just a bit of this moment with them for all their days. In the meantime, I'll have pictures and video and newspapers and posters, and of course, my own yammering stories of waiting in line and shaking hands with the future Mr. President.

What a satisfying day.
