Washington DC Trip

So back to reality again today. The trip was a success and we got to see lots of things. The best part (for me) was getting to see my sisters and Trent. It was nice to see Ali and Trent "at home" instead of a quick swing through in Ringsted.

As a whole the LEEP group was pretty good though we did have some struggles with one participant. Lucky for my sisters and mom they got to witness some of the meltdown where I was actually bawling from embarrassment and anger. I do have a different opinion for the people of Washington DC. My mom always speaks very highly of everyone out there but I DEFINITELY got a different feeling for the culture. Yes, we did meet some wonderful people but we also ran into some really horrible people too. I left there really frustrated with people's attitudes and disregard towards people with disabilities.

Overall I think they had a good time and we heard lots of thank yous when we dropped everyone off at home last night. I just hope that they saw everything they wanted to and learned lots! We visited the Capital, Washington Memorial, White House, Jefferson Memorial, FDR Memorial, Smithsonian Museums, and the Hard Rock Cafe.

Here are a few of the pictures from the trip, Enjoy!

These last 2 photos are of the Pentagon Memorial. It was pretty cool and rather moving since I remember that day so clearly.... Scary to picture a plane crashing into a building like that....
