We attended our very first political rally this past Sunday. It was in Woodbridge, Virginia — about 40 minutes from our home. It was an interesting event. We arrived about 30 minutes before the posted start time — only to find the line to get in the stadium was truly about a mile long. I thought we’d never get in — but about an hour later we did get through security. It was longer than most Disney lines … LOL. Once inside it didn’t seem like that many people were there compared to the many that were standing in line.
John McCain showed up at about 3:30 — the start time was 2 p.m. with other speakers before him. However, had I known it was an all day affair I probably would not have gone.
At any rate, the kids got to see what a rally is all about — and we got to support our candidate. We also got street signs and bumper stickers to distribute to others …. but we still have a ton in the backseat of the car.
Here’s some pictures from the event:
Sounds like a great homeschooling lesson. I hope you had good weather while you waited in line.
Awesome!!! Lucky you =)
