4PM: This day is always unpredictable, but despite the unexpected hurdles that we've encountered along the way it's unfolding nicely thus far. We'd planned to let the kids sleep in today; that was a good choice -- they needed it. And then we ran 'em hard. Vietnam Memorial, then Lincoln, then Korea, then W. W. II Memorial. What would normally have been a lot of walk was on this holiday a killer amount of walking because of all the extra security fences that we had to walk around. And we're lugging around tarps and blankets for tonight. But the kids have been troopers.
The rain is holding off, for now at least. But the clouds look ominous. Not sure how it's gonna play out but rain hasn't hurt our experience the last two years, so we're crossing our fingers. The kids are finishing a late, late lunch and now re-gathering around the camp we've set up.
Weatherholt has done a magnificent job of collecting video reflections from students along the way. They should be embedded as a playlist below, but just in case that doesn't load for you, here's the link.
