Well, I was all set to go! My directions written out, I hit the road!
Two hours later...I realized A MAP would have come in handy. Shoot, anything would have come in handy at that point. What was I thinking? Who knows. I only found two gas stations that whole time and neither gave me good directions : )
On one of my many wrong turns, I found myself checking out Pentagon security ; ) I can safely say, it's well protected!! WHEW!
I was one of a group of Gold Star parents who traveled in the Caravan Across America and were able to join you for your 100th evening at Walter Reed! Our country is blessed by your service to our wounded and we were honored to share this evening with you. It was indeed a reminder of the true American spirit and patriotism!
I have to say that I did feel a little guilty though - coming from Minnesota I thoroughly enjoyed getting hit by the sleet and the aftermath of snowflakes - thought maybe I brought it!
God's blessings to you all for your dedicated service to our wounded warriors!
You sound just like me. About 200 miles down the road it occured to me I left the directions to WR on my desk. Too far to turn back for them. We eventually found WR. Eventually. :-)
