Changing directions in DC

Today was my midpoint.  It is a lovely political reality that a cross country road trip can focus on deeply conservative states in one direction and a neatly aligned set of swing states in the other.  Today I spent my transition day in Washington DC.

This is me, in full uniform with my GoPro at the ready, no makeup and comfy cow pants.  Life is good.

Lots has changed in the last 4 years, but without question my favorite is the addition of the new Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture.  The building (on my left) is spectacular, but the sight of the families in line to enter, most with 3 or more generations together to share the experience was indescribable.

Just outside of Washington DC, I happened upon a group of motorcyclists en route to Philadelphia.  These guys were having a blast and I just could not resist,

Kurt – Please forgive me, you are so tall and I messed up the framing.

  1. You are burning up the road. Love the interviews curious mixture of both hope and craziness. I love that people will open up and be authentic with you but then you are a good listener.
