In 80 minutes, I will be on my way to the Columbus International Airport to catch a flight toward paradise. That does not leave me nearly enough time to adequately reflect on the past two months and what it has meant for me. Thus, I leave again without completing my R4WH blog. In between buying a car, looking for permanent housing, in-processing into the Army, orienting toward intern year, and befriending my resident colleagues, I will complete my final thoughts on a most excellent adventure.

Saturday 02 June 2012 ~ Touring the Capital


After a much-welcomed opportunity to sleep in, many of us donned the biking outfits and rolled out the bikes for the abundant photo ops in DC. We were blessed with blue skies, fluffy clouds, gentle breezes, and pleasant temperatures.

My camera, perched atop my helmet, 10-second timer for a great group shot. I was in a "mood" :)

We were the only four who had our bikes out today. Well worth the extra work. Amanda, Daniel, Jessie, Blair.

States of my past, current, and future residences. World War II Memorial.
