Anthony's Kids Wish Network Trip

I cannot even begin to express how amazing and wonderful a time we had in Washington, DC. Everyone we met was so excited to meet Anthony and knew a lot of his history. There is so much I want to tell everyone, so much I want to write down. I think for right now I'll just post pictures and then add information as the days go on. This post would be far too long with words and pictures. I'll put captions to the pictures, but will write more on each subject later.

I will say this: as I stood in the Smithsonian at the dinosaur exhibit, I couldn't help but let myself have a little cry. Anthony is here. Anthony is healthy. Anthony is amazing. All of that could have been taken from me, and I will never forget that.

Dinner was at Morton's of Chicago, and it was delicious (nobody had the lobster, though)!
