The Journey Begins

If you had asked me last year at this time if I would ever consider driving and staying in a rented RV with 5 members of my family and 3 friends, I would have told you absolutely not! If you had asked me if I believed an African American man would be elected President of the United States in my lifetime, I would have told you absolutely not! Well, here I am sitting in an RV park with 5 members of my family and 3 friends, waiting to witness the inauguration of the first African American man to be elected President of the United States. I am in awe!

Early Saturday morning, in the freezing cold, my husband, daughters, grandsons, friends and their daughter, loaded our gear into a 32-ft. rented RV. Newsday thought our story to be newsworthy and sent a photographer to capture the moment on film as we prepared to take off. We headed on down the road to College Park, MD. We were filled with the firm determination to witness this most historic event. It was beyond exciting. There were times when, in thinking about the whole situation, I could barely catch my breath.

Ebony and Ivory are off to witness and be a part of history. This is going to be an absolutely incredible journey!!
