Presidential inaugurations

I have attended two presidential inaugurations. President Reagan's second one in 1984 and George Bush in 1988. It was so cold at Reagan's inauguration they moved inside the Capital Rotunda instead of the capitol steps. They called off the parade although they had a band concert inside as it was too cold for the instruments. Every state is assigned a hotel so everyone was from Kansas. We got a chance for a ride to the Capitol building withe Owens. The Owens were going to one of the Congressional buildings. We watch from Congresswoman Jan Meyer's office. We went to the Congressional Ball assigned the Kansans. I noticed one lady when she crossed her legs had on thermal underwear. I had to buy a long dress to wear and I had gone to J C penny;s outlet store and found a navy blue one. I used it for both balls I attended. President Bush's inauguration in 1988 had delightful weather. We went to outdoor events with planes flying over head and me jumping out of planes. We had fireworks and of course the parade. Shawnee Northwest had a band and drill team but we found the parade was a little long. We attended a great many events. One event had Mrs. Bush and Big Bird from TV. At one reception we met Shirley Temple. Scott and Kathleen were with us this time has Kathleen was nursing her new baby, Kelly. She must have been about 6 weeks old.
