The Inauguration - Day 3 Illinois Inaugural Gala


We started the evening with 2,000 other people at an intimate reception and dinner. The dinner was fantastic - which surprised us due to the number of people! After the dinner we joined 4,000 other people on three floors for the ball. Food every where, 6 ball rooms with different types of music and many different activities. When we were finishing with our dinner they said that the line was through the hotel and outside around the building .




Here are a few pictures of the evening. Our table. The room. Women who were at the table with us. A picture with Tammy Duckworth - Illinois National Guard Major & Iraq war Veteran. She was appointed director of the Illinois Veterans' Affairs Department. She drew a lot of attention to our table!
