There is no more exciting time to plan a timeshare vacation to our Nation\u2019s Capital than for a Presidential Inauguration.<\/p>\n

The 20h Amendment of the Constitution of the United States specifies that a Presidential term begins on January 20th, regardless of on what day that date falls.<\/p>\n

It just so happens that in 2013 January 20th is a Sunday. Therefore, the President was actually sworn in yesterday during a small private ceremony which was only open to family, friends, and selected guests.<\/p>\n

For the public, Inauguration Day this year is January 21st. Today a second Swearing-in Ceremony will take place on the west steps of the U.S. Capitol.<\/p>\n

In Sunday\u2019s ceremony President Obama used a bible that belongs to the First Lady\u2019s family.<\/p>\n

For today’s public ceremony he will use two other bibles \u2013 one that was President Abraham Lincoln\u2019s personal bible, and the other belonged to Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King.<\/p>\n

No tickets are required to watch the Swearing-in Ceremony from the National Mall, where jumbo television screens have been placed.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

Following the Presidential address and the Inaugural Luncheon hosted by the Joint Congressional Committee on Inaugural Ceremonies, the Inaugural Parade will commence at 2pm.<\/p>\n

Participants in the parade are selected by the Presidential Inaugural Committee, and include marching bands from each state, marching military units, mounted units, and other performers.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

Canine Companions for Independence (CCI) was chosen from more than 2,800 applicants to head the parade. Zoltan, an 11 month-old Labrador-Golden Retriever mix, will lead the other 56 dogs in the CCI parade unit. All are being trained to be service dogs.<\/p>\n

The theme of this year\u2019s Inaugural, \u201cFaith in America\u2019s Future,\u201d celebrates the perseverance and unity of America. The 57th Inaugural also celebrates two 150th anniversaries: the Emancipation Proclamation, and the capping of the Capitol dome with the Statue of Freedom.<\/p>\n

This year President Obama announced that the number of inaugural balls would be reduced to just two official parties in an effort to reduce government spending.<\/p>\n

The first official ball is the Commander-in-Chief’s Ball at the Washington Convention center, which is open to select members of the US military. The second is the Inaugural Ball, also at the Washington Convention Center. A limited number of tickets were released to the public.<\/p>\n

Many state, corporate, and private balls are held in hotels and museums around Washington, D.C.<\/p>\n

When you plan to experience the excitement of a U.S. Presidential Inauguration in person, you\u2019ll be happy to know that Washington, D.C., timeshare rentals<\/a> will keep your trip budget-friendly and relaxing.<\/p>\n

You can rent a timeshare at the Wyndham Old Town Alexandria<\/a> in Virginia where timeshare rentals currently start at just $79\/night. Or stay at or at Wyndham\u2019s Vacation Resorts at National Harbor<\/a> in Maryland, where currently timeshare rentals start at $75\/night.<\/p>\n
