Joining the campaign trail!

So yesterday Corrine found out Mitt Romney was coming back to California for a rally before Super Tuesday. It was held in Long Beach at a hanger. Well, she was able to convince dad to go quite easily. My problem is my nerves don't handle these things very well. I feel like I am at one of the boy's sport events with so much on the line. I watch with my hands over my face and peek between my fingers! My stomach can't handle the pressure! Anyway, I knew dad and Corrine really wanted me to go and so I decided to just go for it.

We arrived early and by the time he arrived I was glad we did. There must have been well over 3000 people there and standing very close together. I loved the two large flags hanging on the wall -- one American and one Californian (see pictures).

Hugh Hewitt was the "MC' and Tony Strickland was there as well as Jack McKewon (a congressman) and Dana Rohrabacher (a congressman) among others. Mitt spoke for about 30 minutes and I must admit, it was easy to get caught up in the excitement of it all! I kind of felt the same way I did when I went to the Ronald Reagan Library -- full of American pride!

This picture of dad put a smile on my face. It reminded me of him holding the "Elder Barlow" sign at the airport waiting for Garrett to come home!
