It was so great to meet you all today. I took some pictures, but have to wait until my son comes home to help me upload.

Thanks for the ride Mo. I was home in a jiffy.!!!

Should we start a new thread - a Rally Report - when we start to upload the pictures?? That might make it easier for everyone to see.

You're Welcome .. as I was heading back home after dropping you off, I saw the first shuttle buses .. they took the same back route we did .. LOL

WOW .. there was A LOT of traffic

[Think free or die]

Sadly, my 7-year old son and I missed out on the rally. We were at the Valley Forge exit of the turnpike by 12:30 and didn't make it to the nearby parking area until 2. By then, the line for the shuttle bus snaked all over, and I estimated it to take another hour. We threw in the towel and drove home rather than fight the inevitable any longer.

There were huge numbers of people who, like us, never got to the rally because of the massive turnout and clogged roadways. Shortly after leaving, I heard on the radio that the shuttle buses had stopped running and that people waiting in line were left high and dry. The organizers clearly didn't expect this level of participation. Even my little son had the wisdom to see that the huge turnout was a good thing even though it kept us from participating directly. He said we could find other ways to support the President and our troops without being caught in traffic until dinnertime. That sweet, patient little kid was treated to water ice on the way home!

I'm getting my photos ready now. We were also on NBC 10. I am going to try to get that video up on the web site later tonight. I still have to edit the video from the airplane.. Great to meet everyone. Wish I could have talked more. Here is me next to the USA banner-

I'm in the corner.
