We met the old fashioned way...online! Like most people in Washington DC, neither of us are native to the area. Travis was embracing his penchant for adventure, having accepted a "foreign" assignment with the Canadian Navy, and Megan had returned to DC after a few assignments overseas with the State Department. Our first encounter, at a beer garden in DC, was natural and laced with laughter. We realized our shared values of public service, travel, cycling, and (street) dogs. We began spending more and more time together, getting to know each other on group bike rides and walking sweet K'onji. Our relationship grew serious quickly especially once we realized our shared penchant for laughter. We have had many adventures traveling to Italy, Costa Rica, Montreal, Omaha, and Halifax, and Vancouver Island. We even managed a four day bike ride from Pittsburgh to Washington, DC. We are now embarking on the greatest adventure of our lives: Marriage!
