You mean the swearing-in? It's open to the public (there'll be information sometime soon). If you want one of the special seats on the stage, they're hard to come by but you could start by asking your local elected officials like state rep or senator if they have access to tickets.

If you go, you wouldn't be the only one with a 1-year old. That shouldn't be an issue. It's often cold there though and you're outside for hours at a time. I think it was during a blizzard during Ridge's inauguration in 1995 even; it was damn cold.

Lots of members (especially GOP) will probably skip going, so their tickets wouldn't be used. At least that's how it has been for the last 30-some years.

If you mean the ball, tickets should be for sale already or soon. I'm guessing that's not what you mean, having a 1-year old in tow for a black tie affair. It's going to be at Rock Lititz.

(To be perfectly honest, I've gone to a couple of the balls, and they weren't anything memorable, not even sure if I'd say they were fun.)
