I was down at the rally on Tuesday night held in Grant Park, which was something I will never forget for the rest of my life. The crowd- hundreds of thousands of supporters- gathered for one of the most energetic and peaceful rallies I have ever heard of. The vibe was amazing. The energy was really all about CHANGE. We took the bus down to the park, as it is only a few blocks from our apartment.
This is the view of downtown from where we were standing in Grant Park. Chicago is so awesome!!
The electoral votes felt slow coming in, as we had been waiting for a few hours, but all of a sudden it flashed across the screen...
Brad pimping his new shirt! I picked us up shirts from a store by my work the day before, which got us some rave reviews down at the rally!
Our President Elect!
I love Michelle!!!
Brad and I as we head out of the rally. We ended up walking the entire way home, despite having been on our feet for close to 4 1/2 hours, just FULL of adrenaline! It was like being part of a parade. All of Michigan Avenue was shut down in front of the park, so we seized the opportunity to stroll right down the center and take it all in!!!
