Lights, Camera, Action is all I can say about the Presidential Debate weekend here in Oxford. The entire week was filled with everyone in town doing there best to make their yards look perfect, stores were stocking merchandise, restaurants preparing endless amounts of food all the while the Grove, Ford Center and the Square were setting up for what will be known as the biggest event in Oxford. Not to mention the unbelievable hours that were put in by all the University employees to make this event perfection. 
Jim was working around the clock the night before and the day of the debate so Mia and I spent some special time with his parents. Thursday evening I met up with Grammie and Pop Pop, who already had Mia with them on the Square. I nearly passed out when I saw her sitting up in her stroller, literally swaying to the rock concert that was taking place. She is only 5 months old! It was a blast hearing the live music on the square that night. We then grabbed dinner and headed to campus to meet up with Jim. Every major news station was in Oxford..Jim was surrounded by politicians, reporters, movie stars, authors,etc. At one point, I called him and he was driving Katie Couric around..are you kidding me? Our town only has 15,000 people in it.
The day of the debate we were in the Grove all day because they had different activities going on, Mia enjoyed every second of her day being outside. We can definitely tell she loves the outdoors. Jim's parents, Aunt & Uncle, Mia and myself all went to dinner on the Square to watch the debate.
Afterwards, we headed to where we knew John McCains after party was being held..this is as close as I got to anyone famous. Here he is speaking to the party attendees..while I am standing in the back alley with tons of people trying to get pictures. HA. How could I forget about the hot air balloon...My office had the balloon come to town for the weekend to help market..I don't have a picture of me in the balloon..but I do have one of the view below. Enjoy the pictures from our fun, memorable weekend in Oxford.
To see all the pictures from our weekend, here is a slideshow...ENJOY!
