We’re now at Reagan Airport. The flight is in about an hour, and it’s a straight flight to Oklahoma City. Belinda is doing schoolwork, of course. I’m hoping against hope that the plane isn’t completely full and we have a little breathing room. The two flights were both completely full, and I was in the middle both times, so I had to be pleasant and friendly, which wore me out after a while. It was all right though, the first lady was real nice and told me all about her MLM and the second lady watched The Office with captions and kept to herself.

This morning we did something a little different. I wanted Belinda to be able to see some of the iconic sights in DC, but our experience yesterday told me she just wasn’t up to a lot.

So I hired a pedicab, and we were chauffeured around DC. We got out and walked a little, but mostly rode. This was great because she was able to take it easy, and I was able to bring her heavy bag of liquids and heat packs without having to drag it all over the place.

We saw the White House, the WWII Memorial, the Vietnam Wall, the Korean War Memorial, and the Lincoln Memorial. We got out at most places and I took a picture with Belinda at the Vietnam Memorial next to Dale Bradley’s name. Dale Bradley graduated from Carmen High School just a little after Mom.

After our tour, we went back to the RMH and got our room cleaned up and checked out. We took an uber to the airport and here we are! Eighteen minutes to boarding.

We are ready to be at home!
