The Chicago Sun-Times is chronicling the journey to Monday's inauguration with the Frazier Family of Marquette Park, and blogging about it. Catch our first story in the series here.

One of the women on the bus has led us in prayer, asking blessings for we travelers, for the journey, for Obama.

Six hours, one bootleg video and a Tyler Perry marathon later, we're stopping for lunch somewhere in Ohio. Burger King & Sbarro are the order of the day. Not good. No reception through the cornfields. Tweeting and blogging getting difficult! My legs are cramping. O.k. So who was it that said road trips are fun?!? Liars! But the Frazier family is happy, the four grandchildren happily munching on junk food, and Pamela working her I-Pad in between snoozing.
