AFAIK Obama addressed a commencement in Tenessee on Monday May 16. Having seen AF1, I wasn't overly surprised but it was nice seeing it in DC.
Later that afternoon, We were just at the base of the Washington monument around 5 PM. The kids were running around and enjoying the sun before the clouds rolled in.
I noticed some snipers on top of a building at the corner of the national mall but didnt know if this was the norm.
Then the surprise, a Marine One chopper makes a low pass over us (backlit). My gut is now telling me its not Obama until I see a second. Sure enough, the second Marine chopper decoy passes on the other side of the monument. The backlit chopper heads onto the lawn while the 2nd flanks the rear and another 2 decoys come in from the side.
nice to be in the right place at the right time.
