Barack is coming to KANSAS!

Barack Obama, fresh off of his win in South Carolina, is coming to El Dorado, Kansas! El Dorado is a small community (population 12,000), just 30 minutes or so from Wichita. Barack's grandparents were from Kansas (Augusta, Wichita, El Dorado areas.) His mother was born in Kansas, and spent the first few years of her life in El Dorado.

We will be taking our family, including our two children, to see him speak. I believe this is an educational experience worth pulling my child out of school for. He may never have this opportunity again. Owen is excited. Brad and I are ecstatic.
