Have you voted yet?

Can you believe how important and thrilling and scary and thrilling and, well, thrilling today feels? I'm fresh out of words (thus all the "thrilling" trilling) so, on the jump you'll find a little series of snapshots of this morning's vote.

Barack Obama for president

My polling place was in the dining room of Beau Rivage:

And at the end, I was so, yes, thrilled, I didn't even manage to frame this shot so it was at all attractive. Yep, I'm an emotional and sentimental girl, not that that's much of a surprise to anyone who visits this blog with any regularity. ;)Polling place view
