Holocaust Memorial Museum 1.20.13

At this point in the day, Darrick decided to have our group break off from the larger group. Darrick took Izel and they ran up to the Capitol to meet with Patty Murray's office to get our tickets for the inauguration.  While they did that, the rest of us went to tour the Holocaust Museum.  Unfortunately, it took almost an hour for us to get in, which left us only about an hourish to tour the museum until we needed to meet Darrick and Izel at the Smithsonians.  On a regular day, it would take at least a couple hours to tour the museum, but add the crowds that were in town for the inauguration, and it was crazy in there.  It was so crowded that at one point, one of the workers had to remind people to step to the sides while looking at the displays, so other people could actually move.  It was a very impressive museum, we just didn't have nearly enough time to appreciate it all and it was incrediably hot and crowded.
