Pres. Obama's visit to Beijing





In November, Presidnt Obama came to China and our family was there to see him. Mike got put in charge of Air Force One so he was extremely busy the entire month. He spent almost 3 weeks in Shanghai preparing. They would not let Mike get all the way on Air Force One but they did let him hang out at the top of the stairs and he spent many cold hours out under the wings. He brought us all home Air Force One M&M's and presidential matches. Pretty cool! When Pres. Obama came to Beijing the embassy had a little party so we could see him. The kids got to take a group photo woth him and I got to say hello and shake his hand (which is more than most got to do.) It was way cool to see him and an unimaginable amount of work for Mike. I don't care weather you are republican, democrat, pro-Obama or not, he is the most powerful man in the world and this was a great experience. One we will never forget!

Very cool Bri, I've been wondering how that went. I wish I could enlarge your pictures they were a little hard to see, but I got the basic idea. =)
