February 11, 2010

Today, I met up with the rest of the group at the church around 9pm. Saying goodbye to my mom I did get a little sad. I have never done anything even close to this big before. I am definitely nervous to go on this endeavor. From here we drove through the night on a very spacious limo bus to the Dulles International Airport in Washington D.C. It has been a long time since I stayed up all night into the next afternoon, but this bus ride was the beginning of that. Lying on the floor of the bus, I hoped that I could at least get a couple hours of shuteye in before we reached Washington. Since they had just gotten hit with an awful snowstorm, the city was still not fully prepared. The snow banks lined the sides of the highways, some up to 15 feet tall. Around 4am, we finally arrived in Washington, for more waiting.
