Grace's first political rally

Our candidate visited Leesburg, Virginia last week and after many hours of “how can we take an 19 month old to a political rally at 5:30, in the cold, with 30,000 other people” we said to hell with it and bundled her up and went to Ida Lee Park. The weather was chilly but bearable. The crowd was huge but in good spirits (except for the Supporters from the “other side” who insisted on pissing me off with “excuse me ma’am but that bus is trying to turn. You aren’t going to let a school bus full of children out? You O*ama people are all the same”) and Grace maintained her cool for the 4 hours we were camped out in line. Although we never made it past the security gates, we were there. Apart of history. It was an awesome feeling and although Gracie will never remember it she can always say she was there.
