Billion Dollar Baby.

Finally made in out to California Sunday night, and so far so good. The last few days have been spent in Napa enjoying my sisters fairy tale of a life. Hundred dollar dinners and billion dollar bottles of wine have been a recurring theme...I'm still not quite sure how she affords this rock star lifestyle, but it's awesome. Tomorrow, I head into San Francisco to meet the men that I will be riding across America with. Nervous. Excited. Unprepared. Everyday from here on out is bound to be an adventure, more posts to come soon... Hopefully they will be a bit more exciting.

Reverse Manifest Destiny.

In the late 1800's, many Americans believed it was not only our right, but our destiny, to travel across the countryside to the west coast and stake our claim.  Over 100 years later, 80 men will be headed back east to serve, and raise awareness for, those with disabilities.

In a little more than a week, I will be leaving home to begin the Journey of Hope, a cross-country trek from San Francisco to the lawns of our nation's capitol in Washington D.C. Over the follow weeks, I will be posting about my trip, my experiences, and the wonderful people I will surely meet. See you on the other side...of America.
