July 25th, 2010 - Day 2

Unfortunately we arrived back late to the hotel this evening and I am pretty tired so my post this evening will be much shorter than yesterday’s but my plan is to go back later and add more when time is available.

As we settle into our beds at our hotel, everyone is doing well and from what I can tell having fun too. After a long day of traveling all over our nation's capital the group is looking forward to a good nights rest in an air conditioned building before we travel south to Fort A.P. Hill tomorrow afternoon. Excitement is building and questions about what to expect at the Jamboree has been the talk of the troop and other scouts in the area as we prepare for the biggest celebration of scouting ever. Like I said earlier I will add more to today's post when time permits so keep watching for new information to be posted. I apologize for not having the time to write more but a wise man once told me that a picture was worth a thousand words so please take a look at the pictures posted and stay tuned for more. Thanks again for all your support and to those that left comments as well. We miss you all and we will be home soon!

  2. Talk about a whirlwind tour of D.C. Seeing all of that makes a person proud of the country we live in. And proud of an impressive group of scouts! Rana K.
