10/29/2018 2 Comments Day 1: Busted Milk Gallons and LasagnaToday, we embarked on a long journey to Washington D.C. from Princeton. Although the weather was rainy and gloomy, the bus was a stark contrast with our laughter reverberating across the space. The majority of the scenery passing outside consisted of golden autumn trees, so we slept most of the 4 hour bus ride, but as we rolled into Silverspring, the reality of what we had actually gotten ourselves into finally struck us. DC’s busy rush of people without skyscrapers to dwarf them was bizarre. We strode nonetheless confidently through the streets, with Josue’s dubious directions to guide us. Our very first photo in DC! Taken right outside of Union Station. After settling into our spacious AirBnB, we explored Silver Springs and bought some groceries for the week. Funnily, our bag of milk exploded, and we dealt with the situation at hand with much positivity. Various strangers around helped us out, too, displaying the generosity and kindness of the residents of DC. The gang at the train station on the way back from the grocery store. The bags had not started ripping yet.
We decided to cook at our residence and bond over three lasagnas (!!!), a tasty reward after a long day of nomadic travel. The lasagnas ended up taking almost 2 hours to cook fully! During this time, we jumped and shouted clues to a game of charades, resulting in a heated competition between Josue’s and Carolyn’s teams. Of course, Carolyn’s team toasted Josue’s with mighty triumph. Today managed to be a fun, unpredictable, and rewarding day despite no formal activities being planned. Who knows what tomorrow will bring! Well, we’re off to enjoy some long-awaited pasta and watch a horror movie to wind down the night. See you all tomorrow!

As someone who has a family member currently in hospice care, this blog deeply resonates with me. The emotions, the struggles, and the moments of connection are all too real. I'm eager to learn more about the specific resources available in the DC area for families going through similar situations. Any insights would be greatly appreciated.
