President's Visit to Buffalo

So last week Christopher and I were lucky enough to be part of President Obama's visit to Buffalo. Christopher had the unique opportunity to tour Air Force One after the President landed. While waiting for the President and his staff to deplane, he was able to wait on the tarmac and after the President landed and shook hands with the other politicians, he came over to shake all of the civilian's hands too, including Christopher (and his mom too who also toured Air Force One). He said the experience touring Air Force One was really cool and he learned a lot of interesting facts about the plane, travel and the workers.

I on the other hand, had a VIP seat to listen to his address at UB. Although there was a lot of standing and waiting, the morning seemed to fly by really fast. I sat next to some of Christopher's family and we had a great time chatting.

Once the President arrive the place went nuts and it was really electric inside Alumni Arena. It was an amazing experience to hear a US President give an address (topic was Making College Education Affordable). After his address, he came around to give us all a hand shake. It was truly an experience I will never forget!

Thanks Ron for including us in this awesome day! You are the best!
