Today is the day that all the hype has been leading toward for the past 2 years. It is here - don't miss it - GO VOTE!!! As soon as the kids were on the bus Babers and I headed out to the polls and voted. We knew 3 of the 5 voting officials - which was nice. No lines. No one even asked for our ID, just our names. Took all of 5 minutes! We saw friends, chatted with people and then headed out to get our......
Free Starbucks Coffee! Yep. Today if you vote you get to stop by Starbucks and have a tall coffee on them. Babers was so excited - he kept saying, "Mommy coffee and we go in!" We did go in - parked the car - no drive thru on election day - Babers picked a chocolate milk and we shared a scone. He danced to the tunes being played and made all the other voters (everyone had stickers on) giggle. A few even grooved with him a bit.
Later we learned that you can get a free star shaped sprinkle donut from Krispy Kreme. We might do that later as a family. Spidey got to vote in class and I believe that SuperStar is too. BigGuy voted at 6am!! He said there was a line out the door at that time, but that it still only took 15 minutes. Papa voted in STL and said his line lasted for 2 hours!! We are totally thankful for our 5 minute line!
Papa also told us that Ben & Jerry's is handing out free scoops of ice cream to voters too. Wish we had one here, but alas - our B&J comes from the grocery store (sad, but we pay less buying it there - we just don't get the fancy flavors).
There are probably tons of other great reasons to go vote - free coffee, free donuts, free ice cream, the fact that it is Your Right!! So go VOTE!!!
