Today we woke up and had a rally in our hotel in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. A really cute crowd of young people came out and it was a great way to get the energy started for the day. From there we flew to Columbus, Ohio where the girls and I had some down time and went exploring in downtown Columbus (look out for "The Great Ohio adventure" clip in our next video). Later that night we went to a fundraising dinner and then waited in our hotel for the results of the Wisconsin and Washington primaries. Thank you, Wisconsin and Washington for these amazing wins and for welcoming me, my family, and the Blogettes so warmly!!!

We're on to Toledo and Michigan tomorrow where I hear we're headed to a dairy farm. (I might just try to milk a cow...)

This morning's rally with Mom and Dad on stage

Yes, it's a cheesehead hat... worn by Steve Duprey

It's official: the Blogettes are now cheeseheads

It was beyond cold! (but Jay and the bus were there)

Chilling with Brooke

It's good to be home on the Straight Talk Express!

Someone's grown attached to the hat

These were the pillows on my parents' bed!

I really wanted to steal mine but resisted the urge

Check out this candy bowl in their room, it was like Halloween!

The reporter in front left (blue and white jacket) is Holly Bailey from Newsweek and is this week's best dressed reporter!

We were fighting over the candy necklaces

Someone on the phone thought Brooke's Dad was Pat Buchanan (He is NOT, it's a joke!)
