Romney comes to Town (2/4/12)

It's that season again. Campaigning is in full swing, which in our world translates to "visits" from dad. Haha. This was a fun one though. Governor Mitt Romney, republican party presidential candidate came to Vegas and Bill was in charge of the hotel. So, the kids and I joined him.

Friends, that work with Bill, got us up close and personal at the public assembly Friday night. It's always fun to listen in on other people speculating who we are that we were able to get such VIP treatment. i.e. an entire "rope" section all to ourselves. Heehee. We all got to shake his hand and got in on the excitement! Afterwards, we enjoyed pizza at Metro Pizza in Henderson, where the rally was, YUM, and then stayed at the hotel. Saturday we went to donuts for breakfast before heading to vote in our caucus and then rushing home to get Aaron's party ready.

That night, Saturday, I rejoined the cause with Katherine, another agent's wife. We were walked, by one of the agents through the crowd, it was a bit like what I imagine the parting of the Red Sea
to be like, and given a place at the front of the rope line. After an exciting victory we were able to join our hubbies for dinner and a stay in the hotel.

Definite perks! He was so close, he practically sweat on me! So exciting!!! Heehee.
