Sock the Vote!

Today is a very important day! So important that Liz made us stay in the sock drawer right through Halloween so we would be ready for it. Today is Election Day.

As soon as we finished breakfast we headed for the polls:

It wasn't long to get to the polls. In fact, it's right across the street! You may notice the lack of line in front of the door. We saw lines running around corners on the news this morning but the gentle folks of Avon don't seem to be in a hurry to vote. We hope they understand how important it is!

Once we found our way inside we signed in (well, Liz did) and learned that we were number 163 to vote today. That doesn't feel like very many, although it was just 9 a.m. when we got there. We did have to wait a few minutes for our turn - there was only one voting machine in the room. Finally, our turn came.

There is a fancy curtain thing that gives voters privacy - human voters, that is. The curtain only covered Liz from the top of her head to her waist. What about our privacy? Fortunately Liz was able to do the voting for us:

Fingers and toes crossed! Now that we have done our duties as citizens we can spend the rest of the day having fun. As we travel we will proudly sport the fact that we voted. (We decided we need to take turns - Right gets the morning, Left gets the afternoon.)

Sock the Vote!
