Obamicon Yourself

We just found this awsome website that makes you look like one of those pictures that is so inspiring with Barack Obama's face and really uplifting words like Hope, Change, Progress, and Fair Trade. Here's the link: http://obamiconme.pastemagazine.com  I'm posting my favorite from their website and one that I made of myself using my Iphone and uploaded it to the blog.  Here's my Obamacon.  I think I will send it to the White House.  Or maybe I'll deliver it in person!!!

Long Road Ahead

So we've mapped out our route.  We're going to take I-70 the entire way there.  I was going to post the entire map, but it turns out that the United States is so enormous that it doesn't all fit on a blog post.  Jefferson should have considered all of the ramifications of the Louisiana Purchase, including forcing people like us to drive for 1 day and 9 hours.  

So, I've eliminated the parts of the trip that are going to be the most boring, all 1,800 miles of "real America." After completing this drive twice, I'm sure we will have a new appreciation for why everyone calls them "fly-over" states.

Ready, Set, Hope, Go

So the day has almost come.  A lot has had to happen to make this trip possible.  Primarily, we want to thank our great and newly elected representative Jason Chaffetz for giving us the tickets to the big show.  I'm sure he and Obama will begin working together on lots of important legislation right from the start.
