I'd like to send out a big giant "WOO HOO!" to my nephew, Robert.
As most of you know, Rob has been participating in Bike & Build -- a volunteer group which organizes bike trips across the country. He and 30 other completely insane twenty-somethings left Providence on June 6th and have spent the past 10 weeks riding their bikes, sleeping at rec centers and stopping along the way to work and build various Habitat for Humanity projects already in progress.
On Thursday at approximately 230pm local time, Rob and the others crossed the Golden Gate Bridge and arrived in San Francisco. AMAZING!! From what I hear, they celebrated with champagne and cigars and a big beach cookout! You can read all about his fantastic journey here on his blog.
My super-sonic nephew is now slowly make his way back East this week. On four wheels this time -- not just the two!
Rob, you're family is so incredibly proud of you and we love you very much. We can't wait to see you again! xo
Shell...thanks for being one of Robs biggest fans.....I know I speak for Rob when I say, we wouldn't have wanted to make this journey without you guys with us. Thanks for all you have done to support him and me. Signed "proud mom of Rob" Love you, Mar
