Election Day 2008

My husband and I took our 10-month-old son to the polls this morning to vote. This is actually the baby's second time out to the polls since I had him with me when I voted in the primaries this past June. He was asleep for the most part then, but today he was wide awake and (thankfully) very calm. It was actually awesome to stand in line with my husband while wearing our baby in a cozy mei tai in what seemed like the most autumn-like weather we could ask for in Southern California.

For the record, here is how I voted today:
