Glad to be on the ground


Okay, so it's my turn to tell you we are here! I haven't been on a plane in a long time, so it was an interesting experience to say the least. After arriving at the airport we were shuttled to our hotel and immediately began to plan our day's agenda. Our first event is tonight with the Young Republicans and after looking up online the restaurant holding the event Kaylee and I realized we didn't bring a dressy enough outfit. But never fear.....we are right across the street from the MALL OF AMERICA. Now, I am a girl...soo....what do you expect? This is a political adventure, but who said I couldn't take a detour at the mall for a couple of hours. After journeying the four levels of massive stores, we both found what we were looking for and maybe some other things, but also the tons of people that were there made us get excited for the week ahead and all the once in a lifetime opportunities we will have to experience! Even in the mall it is evident the excitement for the convention. Signs, t-shirts, hats, bags, mugs.....you name it they had it and with a big ol' elephant stamped on the front! Yes the mall was awesome, but I have a feeling there will be plenty of other awesome things to get excited about in the coming days!
