I covered 43 miles today for a total of 420 miles!!! Lots of traffic today and some very bumpy roads and I had to stop for a train crossing but some beautiful scenery. I ended my big ride at a place called Washington Crossing at the Delaware River and the border is actually in the middle of the river. That's why the pictures below are on the bridge. I can't explain all my feelings of joy and happiness. With tears coming, my Dad says why are you so upset, I said they're tears of joy. If I would have been allowed, I would have went swimming in the river. I am just overwhelmed that I accomplished my goal and everything went so well. God certainly gave me the strength to complete this journey because I am so tired and sore now, I am amazed I could continue everyday. And again, the weather couldn't have been any better for my last day!
We ate a late lunch right there at the Bridge at the Washington Crossing Inn to celebrate and it was incredible. Wonderful meal and beautiful place if you're ever in that area. We got in the van to head home and I passed out within 15 min. When I woke up, we were at King of Prussia so I asked my Dad if we could stop at a store that I like and we don't have in our area. He patiently said he didn't mind. While there, I forgot I was supposed to call the FRC radio to give them an update and they reminded me. I called in while in the store then and just was so happy to tell them that I was able to complete my ride and hopefully raise awareness for "Faith, Marriage and Family" and the work they do.
This whole journey has been such a BLESSING to me and I pray to many others!!! I can't thank everyone enough for their support and prayers. Especially my Father for giving up a week of his time to be there for me and his encouragement every day! It would have been hard to do this without him. You can still make donations on the site www.frc.org/acrosspenn. There is still lots of work to be done and mountains to climb (or ride) for God and Family. Let's stand together and do everything we can to love one another and make a positive difference!!!
