Once in a Lifetime

Yesterday, President Obama was in town. Whenever he is here, roads are closed down and traffic is a mess. This time, he was scheduled to drive through our neighborhood at rush hour. I went to pick Wesley up as usual, and offered to take him to the beach to avoid the traffic. He said no - he wanted to go home. I decided to take the back way to see if I could make it home. I got within a block of our house and was stuck. But we were stuck about 50 feet from the road that the President was going to travel on in a matter of minutes. So we got out of the car and decided to wait for the President to drive by. It was not an easy wait for a little one. I was happy to have a hovering helicopter to keep him occupied:


He was also fascinated with the police officer and his motorcycle and helmet.



Finally, he was in sight!



We got an up close view:



A once in a lifetime experience that Wesley will never remember!
