Potomac, the eve of our arrival!

This morning we awoke to great weather and everyone was excited knowing that today would be our last true ride since tomorrows would only be about 15 miles. The ride from Hagerstown to Potomac was pretty rolly but a nice ride nonetheless. For the most part the team rode together for the day and took our time, savoring the passing minutes as we know in the back of our minds we will be saying goodbye in only a day. Once we arrived in Potomac we ate lunch at the Bullis School where we would also stay for the evening. That afternoon was spent just hanging out with the guys and savoring our last hours together. We also took some time to organize our bags and clean up the vans to make the arrival a bit smoother for all. In the evening we headed to a campground to meet up with the other two Journey of Hope teams along with the Build America team for BBQ dinner. It was nice seeing them again but after that event it only reconfirmed how blessed I was with the team that I had. It was easy to see the teams' different personalities and I felt that ours had hands down the best dynamic and teamwide respect. Later in the evening, we all signed each other's jerseys to have as a constant reminder of what we had experienced this summer. Many of us stayed up late into the night enjoying each other's company through countless stories and laughter.
