Thanks for all the love and congratulations yesterday, on our marriage’s first birthday. There was no better way to celebrate than spending the day having adventures with our Adabug. (She’s the best part of… pretty much everything.) We voted – all three of us, of course! – and then picked up an anniversary cake from Grandma Barb.
All stars and stripes for election day! Everyone thought she was a boy… but what else is new?
“Yeah, yeah, the democratic process,” she thinks. “Now where are my crackers?”
Afterwards we went into the city with our friends Eric, Meghan and baby Ellie to see the sunset from Top of the Rock (the observation deck at Rockefeller Center) and explore MSNBC’s Democracy Plaza. There they had all kinds of interactive exhibits, including a newsroom and camera where you could record your own presidential speech, a replica Oval Office and podium for photo taking.
President Ada would be very clear about her position on foreign policy.
They also had some massive features for watching the election results come in. First, a huge US map of states on the ice rink that would light up individually red or blue as each state’s results were called. And Rockefeller Center was lit half red, half blue and had a window washing lift on either side with a counter that rose as each candidate received electoral votes, up to a finish line of 270. How cool!
See? Half red, half blue. And those white boxes toward the bottom are the window washer lifts.

What a view! Empire State behind Daddy’s shoulder.
Baby friends!
We ended the evening with a nod towards the dropping temperatures (cold baby toes and fingers are heartbreaking!) and early baby bedtimes. We walked to the PATH from Rockefeller Center, pausing in Times Square to see all the excitement there.

Pooped.
Hooray for Ada’s first Election Day! She’ll be lining up to vote too… in 2032.
What i do not realize is in fact how you are now not actually a lot more
well-appreciated than you might be right now. You are very intelligent.
You know therefore significantly in relation to this subject,
produced me individually consider it from a lot
of numerous angles. Its like women and men aren’t involved until it’s one thing to accomplish with Woman gaga!
Your personal stuffs great. At all times maintain it up!
