A promise kept

7-7-07

Today was the real center of our trip. Kit’s husband Bob (Becky and Dee’s dad) passed away in 1984 and is buried in Arlington National Cemetery in Washington D.C. Kit and the girls moved out to California where a couple of her daughters were in college, and they had not been back to the East coast for 21 years. Kit has always been very generous with us and even gave us a great deal on our house. Beck and I have been talking about taking Kit back to DC once we could afford to. So that was one of my justifications when we bought the RV and began planning this crazy trip.

Today we made it to Arlington and visited the Colonel’s grave. Unfortunately, Kit still is on the mend and wasn’t feeling really well yet. We made it to her husband’s grave, but we may go back tomorrow if she’s feeling better so we can see more of the sites in DC.

We are staying in Virginia with Dee’s friend Julie and her family. We have the RV parked in front of her house, and Kit gets a real bed to sleep in. Hopefully, she’ll be feeling better by tomorrow.
