Yesterday I took both girls with me to vote. I was well prepared for long lines and antsy kids, with Anna in the mei tai, a packed-to-the-brim purse backpack with diapers, wipes, crayons and paper, snacks, etc. on my back, and more than an hour extra before we had to leave for our dentist appointments.
Imagine my disappointment when we walked right in, signed the book, and went into the voting booth! (OK, not really. More like relief!) But even though Anna definitely won’t remember, and Carrie probably won’t, I can tell them both that they were in the booth with me for this historic election.
