Presidential visit

Little old Charlottesville had a big visit today as President Obama and French President Hollande toured Monticello. With only one main road in and out of town, this seemed to cause a lot more chaos than in any big city he visits. Pretty much the entire town was shut down from 3-7, and most sadly for us, the basketball game was postponed until 9pm, meaning we couldn't go. While Mike stayed at work to avoid the mess, I snuck out after the motorcade went through and got the boys, then we went to Arby's for dinner. We usually eat out on basketball days, so this helped quell the sadness of not attending the game, but they're also right in the main drag on CVille and have a huge picture window! So we ate then anxiously watched and waited for the motorcade to go back on the airport. The boys were thrilled to see all the police cars and motorcycles speeding by! They waved out the window, and drew pouted a little that the Presidents didn't stop to give him a hug :) While we got in the car, we heard the rumble and looked up- just as Air Force 1 flew overhead. What a great way to shake up our evening!

See the trailers from the police lights? They were fast!!
