Sometimes, you have those groups where you just click with everyone and they are so much fun! I had one of those groups last year.

So this year, when one of those guests from the UK was going to be in town, she asked if we might meet. I am with a student group, who was in the Smithsonian, so I said I had enough time to run out and get a hug and that was about it.

So I did that. What are the chances that you then run into them AGAIN at another museum?

So great to see you TWICE! Have a blast in DC.

Farewell, my friend!

Sadly, I didn't get to see you in blossom this year. I'm so glad that I got to see you one last time before the executioner's blade is put to your trunk.

Every year, for the last several years, I have marveled that you burst into bud once more, even when so much of you had already been lost to the elements.

Thanks for the memories, the inspiration, and the perseverance--you will be missed!

🥺😢😭

Today I was both honored and humbled that my colleagues awarded me the Rookie of the Year Award.

While I have been leading tours for a while, last year was my 1st full season dedicated to Destination America.

To receive this reward is a great honor and it must be shared with all my incredible colleagues who work behind the scenes at the office and, most especially to my fellow travel directors who helped and supported me throughout.

One of my favorite parts of this career is that we are like family and help one another out whenever we can.

A huge shout out and THANK YOU to all those many individuals (you know who you are) that have encouraged, supported, and assisted me along the way.

This honor belongs to you all.

Had the pleasure of spending the last four days with this AMAZING group of young adults. Thanks Mobridge for making my 1st student tour of the season extra special and super fun. Hope there isn't too much snow back home!

Tucked away in Section 15 are the graves of three axis power soldiers--one German and two Italian. All three were POW's, captured in North Africa during WWII.

There were 19 POW camps in Maryland, and these three individuals were all in camps on the eastern shore. The men were allowed to leave camp to work, mainly on farms. The POW workers are credited with saving Maryland's tomato crop in 1945. Local farmers relied on them to work the fields and bring in the harvest since most able bodied American men were off at war.

They were paid about the equivalent of a US private; Geneva Convention rules required they be paid for any labor. But they were paid in scrip which could only be used in camp.

The Geneva Convention also required that any POW who died while on foreign soil be given a proper burial in the closest National Cemetery. Arlington was the closest one to the camp, which is how they came to be here. In February of this year, the Chief of the German military laid a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier and visited Sgt Hilberath's grave.
