Homeschooling: Current Events and Civics
Posted by TulipGirl | Under Homeschooling, Political Concerns Tuesday Sep 16, 2008Update. . .
Hubby and the boys went up to the Tampa Convention Center, and got to stand between the press bleachers as part of an overflow crowd. They enjoyed both seeing McCain and hearing him speak in person. His message focused on the economy, rather than the usual stump speech. They also thought it was fun seeing the anti-McCain protesters.
The day ended up with an unusual twist — the van breaking down in the middle of downtown Tampa. A call to USAA, a towtruck that broke down on the way to the shop, and a seven-hour wait later. . . I picked them up late last night and we’re still waiting to here from the shop. No doubt, this will be expensive — and we’re trying to figure out how to juggle the next few days’ schedules when each of us needs to be in different parts of town at the same time, and our primary vehicle is in a different city.
Another update: Hubby finally has pics up!
McCain in Tampa
Great field trip!
I took the boys to a last-stop-the night-before-the-election rally to see George HW Bush and none of us has ever forgotten how exciting that was! We still have our battered poster–I came across it when I was cleaning the attic a couple of weeks ago.
Have a GREAT TIME!!
Wah!! Oklahoma is so red, McCain nor Palin will ever need to come here… Have a fabulous time!
They DID have a great time. . . and the boys were sooooo patient with the loooong wait in the hot sun and then later in the service station. (7 hours all told. . .)
We heard that Palin was a few hours north of us today. *waahhh* We missed it, but did get a few hours in at the phone bank.
