The Frazier family prepares to board the bus.

After weeks of preparation and mounting excitement, nine members of the Frazier family of Marquette Park left this morning on their "Road trip to the White House."

The Fraziers and their group wait out a three-hour delay leaving on their "Road trip to the White House."
