There's a first time for everything

Including for the first woman ever to accept the nomination for the presidency. Exciting, momentous, inspiring, awesome - these are just a few adjectives to explain this moment. What an amazing day and what an amazing women!

And, yes, the boy did stay up past his normal bedtime and he watched the entire speech with us. I find it incredible that the first president he'll remember is an African-American and that the second will most likely be a woman. How very cool!
