Busy Week

This past week has been kinda busy. Last weekend one of the hurricanes made it''s way up to Virginia, and the kids decided to face it head on. Looking back now, we should have thrown a bar of soap out the door and killed two birds with one stone.
(water is rushing down the drains in the street!)

This is the little league field which they have now converted to a swim club. There were some serious flooding going on. (Those are the batting cages halfway under water.)


A kangaroo got loose in the house.

I have been working on the www.pentagonmemorial.net website for the past two years and on 9/11 was got to attend the dedication at the Pentagon. President Bush spoke to the crowd here. It was a moving ceremony and hard to believe it was 7 years ago. It seems like yesterday.

This the most recent part of the site I just finished for the dedication:

Sarah! Sarah! Sarah!

That' what I heard for about a week. And in the end she didn't disappoint! I do advertising for the John McCain campaign, so I got the chance to go work at the Republican National Convention. I spent most of my time shooting video of the delegates. It was a blast! I got to see a bunch of famous people. All the way from Jon Voite to Triumph the Comic dog (I even made it on Conan O'Brian and CNN). I got to be in the front row during all the speeches. Sarah Palin was great. When she came on stage, it was like a rock star walked out. Real cool. McCain wasn't bad either =)

I also got to go to the CNN One Campaign concert and see Chris Daughtry (Cali is still sad she didn't get to go). And it was AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Here is some video I shot of the concert (my audio mic wasn't good on the camera, but he sounded great live)

Here are some trip photos and commentary, enjoy:




This is where my buddy Ryan and I ate, three nights in a row. It is called the Market Bar-B-Que, and is well worth the plane ride to Minnesota.

This was the campaign headquarters in our hotel where McCain and Palin were staying.

This was everyone from our team who made the trip.


One night after a Rage Against the Machine concert, all the people came out to march down to our hotel and protest. This was one of the SWAT guys who was between them and our hotel.


This was Mitt Romney on the third night.



This was the last night when I was on the floor. I was up to my waist in balloons. Crazy town.


This was before Sarah Palin's speech.



McCain arrived and everyone went wild!


Sarah! Sarah! Sarah!



Daughtry (the man)!!!!!

Sweet Pixie


I thought this was Blog Worthy. This morning Macey (almost 5) asked, "Mom, which would you rather have, a genie or fairy Godparents?" So I thought a second, but then asked her, "Which would you rather have?" She said, "I would rather have fairy Godparents because with a genie you only get 3 wishes and they are kind of tricky."

Of course!!
