Uncle Paul gave us tickets to the McCain Presidential Debate viewing party in Oxford. We drove around Oxford before the party. There were several bands playing in the Grove, and a big viewing party was held on the Square. The McCain party was at a bar off the square - Lyric. There were a lot of students there (the McCain campaign gave some sorority girls - including our babysitters, Macey Baird and Liz Fair - backstage passes), and we got to see and visit with several of our friends. We hung out mostly with Julia and Tony Gaines and their Grove group friends. We sat on the bar so we could see better. We had a great view when Cindy and John McCain came to the party. Charles didn't get to shake Senator McCain's hand this time (Charles met McCain at a fundraiser in Jackson), but we had a lot of fun hearing him speak and watching him drive the crowd crazy. When McCain left, Charles and I headed home and made it just in time to pick up the kids at 1:00 a.m. Thanks, Nana and Grandpa!

it was the chance of a lifetime for Charles and Laura -- and must have gotten the Rebels excited enough to win today! Nice package!
So exciting! I'm so jealous! What a fun experience! And Mom's right, go Rebels (and McCain)!!
