"These Shoes Are Made For Walking..."

"...and that's just what they'll do; one of these days these shoes are gonna walk all over town!"

Indeed, we are just days away from our long-awaited departure. And I can't begin to say how amazing this journey has been, how much we have already learned, and how much the kids have discovered, not just about Washington D.C., but about life, goals, and themselves. They recently made their first withdrawl from their D.C. savings account. It was a priceless opportunity for Tracy and I to take them shopping and watch them each try on new shoes in preparation for all of the walking that this journey would require. They were so thrilled to be buying their own shows - with their own money!

Yep, the lists are made: "to do" "to buy" and "to pack".

Really? This Friday? I truly can't believe it!
