US Farewell Tour: Part Five

The last week of our time in the US has been spent in Knoxville/Jefferson City- where Miranna grew up. We've spent a lot of time doing last minute preps for our trip, but we've also had time to visit friends and family:

Miranna, Mom, and Noel- Douglas Dam in Jefferson City

Alison and daughter Kenzie, and Miranna- Gettysburg friends out to lunch.

Stacey and daughter Lauren, Miranna and Mom- catching up with long lost Camp Tanasi friends!

We also took a day trip to the mountians, which was important for our trip preparation so that we could practice using an outhouse!
Wow! Time has flown by! I can't believe our farewell tour has come to an end! It was great visiting with all of our friends and family and sorry we missed some of you! We leave for Philadelphia tomorrow morning where we will meet the other 54 members of the Peace Corps group going to Benin. After a day of orientation, we will all board the plane on Thursday and arrive in Benin Friday night! We're not nervous or sad about leaving- we're anxious to go and "get this party started"!
