Today is my last full day in Washington DC. Life is funny at times. I cried when I left my family and I cried last night saying good bye to my new YCC family. We are already planning a reunion!
This has been one of the best weeks of my life. I have learned so much and made so many friends. It truly has been an honor and a privilege to be on this trip.
Today five of us YCC girls, me, Nevada Susan, Georgia Ashley and Texas girls Jill and Tina are going to see a little more of Washington. We plan on seeing the Tomb of the Unknown soldier, take in a couple of museums and just have a little down time. We really need it after the full schedule of the past 9 days! Our tour guide of the day will be fellow YCC delegate Cameron who lives in Washington and is a lobbyist for JBS. Thanks for following me!
