Did one of the justices skip the inaugural ceremony today?

I missed a lot of the early stuff. I thought I heard that one of the SC Justices skipped the inaugural. Was it Alito?

2. FWIW there's a custom forbidding the justices to all appear in public together at once.

It sounded like it was not a big deal. I am sure Alito would have volunteered to be the odd man out.
