Baltimore by Warrior Weekend


Warrior Weekend provides weekends of rest and relaxation for soldiers and marines who have been wounded in combat in both Iraq and Afghanistan. They are undergoing recovery at Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington, DC. The missions are funded by both individuals and organizations and are no cost to the soldiers and marines who participate.
Missions focus on small groups of 8-10 and allow participants to enjoy themselves at various destination cities. The mission provides activities, but also allows each participant the freedom to do their own thing.
The mission was started by Steve Udovich, a retired Army Reserve Lieutenant Colonel and decorated Iraq combat veteran. He paid a visit to Walter Reed in December of 2006 and started this mission the following month.

Over the weekend we went to Baltimore with a group from Warrior Weekend. We had a wonderful time. These pictures are at the aquarium. I have more pictures but blogger and or my computer is not behaving. The one on top is dolphins and Brandon. The one below is Brandon feeling the shells.

This one is Brandon with a fake frog on his head - courtesy of daddy. I will post more pictures on Wednesday.

That looks like so much fun. I bet Denton would love that too. That is so amazing to see whales that close.

So apparently I can't tell my swimming mammals apart. I meant dolphin. Whatever.
