Day one was a success, every one got from g-bury to our new home for the week in DC. Everyone enjoyed the 6 hour car ride. Time went by fast while we sang songs and bonded to get to know all the strangers in the vans. We all arrived in DC around 5:30 and got to sit in the parking lot for around 30 minutes while Andrew had to contact the church for the combo for the lock to get inside. We had a nice little party while the time passed. Once everyone got settled in our new home half the group went grocery shopping and got a whopping 5 carts of food and the other half walked to the capital building and watched the sunset, which was very pretty and walked back. By the time we got back it was around 8:30 and we got some volunteers to go get pizza and salad for dinner. we finished the night off with a group meeting, taking about what we are going to do and rules and all that boring stuff and team building activities. Lights were out at 12:00 alarms were set and every one can't wait to get up and help make a difference and help out tomorrow at Claggett Farm!
