Lilburn Delegate Ilene Johnson: 'We Loved Michelle'

The Georgia delegation is quite busy at the Democratic National Convention.

Ilene Johnson, a local delegate from the Lilburn area, is having a fun-filled, yet informative time at the Democratic National Convention this week.

Already, she's attended several formal events, done quite a bit of walking, and listened to First Lady Michelle Obama's heartfelt message to Americans about her husband -- the president.

Check out her delegate diary about her experiences, including a big shindig were Johnson said that "it was fun to see all my friends in their finest. I usually see most of these folks sweaty from canvassing or at state party meetings."
