Angela's Travels
Angela once again had the opportunity to see President Bush speak right here in Omaha, NE on February 4, 2005.
If you look right behind President Bush in this picture, there is Angela smiling proudly.
On January 19th, Angela traveled to Washington, D.C. to take part in President George W. Bush's inaugural
events. On Wednesday, January 19th, there will be an Inaugural Concert at The Ellipse, the green area near the White House.
Thursday, January 20th, Angela will attend the oath for Vice President Dick Cheney and President George W. Bush on the lawn
of the capitol building. Following the Oath, Angela will go to the Inaugural Parade which goes along Pennsylvania Avenue.
Later that evening, all the Inaugural Balls are held. That pageant dress will get some use beyond the stage after all! Finally,
a National Prayer Service occurs Friday, January 21st at the National Cathedral. Please visit http://www.inaugural05.com to find out more about the inaugural events. Angela will post pictures as soon as she can!
Angela was on Fox42 Television in an interview about her upcoming trip. Below is the link to
the report.
