Obama

Yesterday we were at a wedding in Alexandria, Va. The ceremony was at 2 and the reception wasn't until 6 so with a few hours to kill we went to a coffee shop with two of Erik's oldest friends, Tony & Emily. After we were sitting in the shop talking for a while we noticed some cops outside and then some secret service agents walking around. When we looked out the window and saw 8 black SUVs we knew it must be the Presidential motorcade. We went outside and learned that Obama was getting ice cream two stores down with his girls. So we stood there waiting for him to come out when a secret service agent basically invited us to go inside and get ice cream. Emily, who is a very big fan of the president, and I decided to go. He was just hanging out eating ice cream with his girls, just like a normal dad, trying to ignore all the people staring at them. Just as we finished buying our ice cream he got up to leave. I sort of pushed Emily up to get a picture with him and just as she was shaking hands with him I shot it (on her phone).

Anyway, a fun memory. See pictures of the event here.
