Tom Mitchell put on his "Make America Great Again" hat Thursday morning.
“I think it’s time to complete my outfit for the occasion,” he said.
While in the nation's capital the Mitchells went to the Texas Inaugural Ball, a "Black Tie and Boots" event Thursday night before Friday’s events.
“It is a great time to celebrate America and it feels like a Texas party,” he added.
Friday they hopped on the Metro with friends from Fort Worth to watch the inauguration at the Newseum.
