Baltimore County ... Good to see you! (And a special thank you to Rico & Yogi for this one!)
We pulled in after dark, but you could still see the heart here. A number of the guys were out on a call when we arrived, but once back, we all settled in to the comfy chairs and got to know each other a little bit.
We heard stories about some of the silly things that have happened to the guys. During the evening, and the next morning, a couple caught us privately and shared stories that I'm sure we'll remember long after the tours have stopped. They shared stories of deployed friends and loved ones ... They recounted losses. It was like every visit, and it was unique - like every visit.
But don't think that this was a sad visit. We laughed hard. We heard stories of "kitchen geckos", and other silliness. We picked on the guys, and shared a great breakfast with them. "Buffalo" was a crack up, and apparently a huuuuuuge fan of our Rookie ... at times, they were inseparable!
Kelly was loving riding with the guys on calls, and Kathy and I were loving the sleep! Baltimore marked our halfway point on the tour. It was a blur and a nonstop slideshow all at once. We would mention something that happened in Michigan, and it felt like that had been months before. At the same time, it was flying by. Weird.
The guys put a great wash on the car for us. And I even got some great cologne for the road. I smelled purty all day!
Baltimore, you guys were great. We will definitely accept the come back invite, and see you on a future tour!
Now start that shirt collection. Wonder who will send more ... Baltimore County, or City?
Thank you all sooooooo much. Great visit!
