During the convention there were many highlights. TJ and his Mom were able to join Tim Allison on the convention floor when Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton moved by acclamation to nominate Barack Obama as the Democratic Party nominee for President of the United States. TJ was cheering from a perch high on his Dad's shoulders. TJ's chant of "Obama! Obama!" could be clearly heard over the joyous roar of the crowd.

While Tim Allison joined fellow delegates on the convention floor, TJ and his Mom sat high in the stands at Invesco Mile High stadium to listen to Barack Obama accept the Democratic Party nomination for President of the United States. Despite the incredibly long, hot day and the large cavalcade of introductory speakers; TJ sat in rapture as Barack Obama accepted the nomination. During the speech he turned to his Mom with a look of awe and delight and exclaimed, "Mom, did you hear it? I can go to college! We all can!" As a mother, I started to cry. It speaks volumes about Barack Obama's abilty to communicate and inspire. He not only connected with over 75,000 people in attendance at Invesco, he was able to inspire a 5 1/2 year old!
