Day 5: Farewell to Baltimore and Believe in Tomorrow

It was with mixed emotions that the SEEDS crew headed to work this morning. We were all very sad to be leaving the beautiful Believe in Tomorrow facilities and the very special and caring people that work at them. We are also very sad to be leaving the fine city of Baltimore and to be leaving each other. We've grown as a team and have developed a great sense of rapport and camaraderie during our stay.

That being said, we are also excited to be heading home - excited to see our families and friends, excited to spread the word about our good deed doing, and excited about the prospect of sleeping in our own beds.

Our last chores were to scrub the walls of each kitchen of the Children's House at Johns Hopkins, plant numerous flowers in tree boxes and the gardens, and turn a wagon into a "welcome" flower box to be placed in front of the building. Before leaving, we said our goodbyes to the Believe in Tomorow staff who were just as grateful to have us, as we were to be able to help such an important organization.

Tonight we'll be heading out for a nice dinner at the Inner Harbor before Max and Tim head home. The girls are staying the night and will enjoy some time out on the town.
