Probably our biggest day yet, we did a lot!!
For many years now, I have been in search of a good time on the Fourth of July. Any holiday involving barbecues, patriotism, and explosives at high altitudes should be phenomenal, right? I've certainly had some good times over the years, but nothing has blown my socks off like I would have liked. This year started off nicely.
Mt. Vernon, the museum, and Hard Rock Cafe sums up Day 5.
If I had to go home today, it would be worth every penny. We have had such an incredible experience in the past four days; I can hardly imagine what the next 20 will bring.
Just about the time spring quarter came to a close and final exams descended upon me, I took one final road trip to the Bay Area before the Year 2000 Road Trip Extravaganza! (Y2KRTE) began a little over a month later.
Before Chris and I embarked on the first official Road Scholars trip, the Year 2000 Road Trip Extravaganza (Y2KRTE), I took a few road trips to the San Francisco Bay Area to visit family and used the opportunity to test out the newly created RoadScholars.com mailing list. The first of these trips occurred over Halloween Weekend and I took along with me my roommate at the time (also coincidentally named Chris) his then girlfriend (now wife), Aliciana. It was our last chance to get away before the holidays and final exams.
