Am I Crazy or just a Patriot?

Sophia and I braved the 30,000 plus people today at the Road to Victory Rally for the McCain/Palin campaign. We parked in a nearby shopping center and then waited over an hour to be bused to the park where the rally would take place. They wouldn't let me take the stroller so by the end I felt like my arm was going to fall off. (a little upset when I got there and saw other strollers) All and all Sophia was pretty good considering the circumstances. We had a lot of fun chanting: USA, USA; Sarah, Sarah; and John McCain, John McCain! What could be more fun that listening to Eye of the tiger knowing that in a few short minutes you would be addressed by the next Pres and VP (hopefully)!!! I stood as close as I could to get a view. It wasn't that bad. When I stood on my tiptoes I could see Palin and McCain when they spoke. My camera is old and doesn't have very good zoom capabilities, but I tried to get some shots. Mostly blurry though. Sophia slept through some of it as seen in the pic below and then in fear of waiting 3 hours for a bus to take us back to the mall I high tailed it out of there after hearing just a few words from McCain. It payed off. I was on the first bus back to the mall. I'm glad I braved the crowds with Sophia. It really was a once in a lifetime opportunity.
