North Carolina & Virginia:
Our remarkable journey commenced in North Carolina, taking us to our first destination, Virginia. There, we had the heartwarming pleasure of reuniting with our beloved Mama Maiju and her family. Our encounters also led us to Helican Dada, Bhauju, and their families. The moments we shared were nothing short of extraordinary, and the dinners we enjoyed were captivating experiences.

Washington DC:
Subsequently, we embarked on a day of exploration in Washington DC. We ventured through the captivating expanse of the air and space museum, the captivating art galleries, History Museum, the towering monuments, the stately Capitol Hill, and the iconic White House, before setting our sights on the majesty of Niagara Falls.

Niagara Falls:
Upon reaching New York's Niagara Falls, we were greeted by a sprawling 6-bed residence that was so vast, we had to resort to our phones to communicate. The Niagara Falls experience was truly surreal; the embrace of nature and the enchanting rivers captured our attention completely, allowing us to momentarily detach from the world and fully immerse ourselves in the splendor. The cascading waterfalls, hidden caves, graceful bridges, and the mesmerizing play of lights created an enthralling tapestry of beauty that left us in awe. This was unquestionably the highlight of our journey.

Pennsylvania:
Moving on to Pennsylvania, we found ourselves halfway between the city's pulsating energy and the tranquil haven of the Holiday Inn's bed and breakfast. A wonderful time was spent here with our kids, creating cherished memories that will last a lifetime.

New York:
The next leg of our adventure took us back to New York, where we marveled at the endless rolling hills and the depths of the enchanting forests. Despite New York's vibrant hustle and bustle, the overwhelming scent of the city was not easily embraced. Nevertheless, the grandeur of the city's towering skyscrapers, the iconic Times Square, and the Statue of Liberty left an indelible impression. Paying our respects to the souls lost during the tragic events of 9/11 was a moving experience, as was traversing the Linkon tunnel.

Pennsylvania:
Our return journey led us back to Virginia, where we paused in Pennsylvania to reunite with our treasured Mama, Maiju, their adorable daughters, and Jwai sahebs. Maiju's culinary talents and her radiant smile transported us back in time, evoking nostalgia from 25 years past. The assortment of dishes and the warmth of the family's love left us amazed. Although we missed the chance to meet our charming Babu and Jwai, we held onto the hope that Niyati would soon make their introduction possible. The embodiment of Munnu's pure affection was unveiled through the thoughtful orchestration of a miniature birthday ceremony in honor of Royce's eleventh year. This gesture stood as the luminous pinnacle of our visit, encapsulating the depth of her love and consideration.

Virgina and Royce's Birthday:
Back in Virginia, we celebrated Royce's birthday with the utmost enthusiasm. The collective efforts of Maiju, Mamu, and Mama ensured that Royce's special day was truly unforgettable. The children reveled in the joyous atmosphere, with Yajna forming a special bond with her newfound friend, Rinera. Their lively dance and performances were a testament to the lasting memories created.

Richmond:
Our journey then led us to Richmond, where we had the privilege of meeting Dr. Narayan Bhetwal and Kusum Bhauju. Their hospitality left us awestruck, and our children delighted in the wonderful ambiance they provided. Little Mayera's display of self-defense skills left us astonished, showcasing her remarkable capabilities.

Team split to Virginia and North Corolina:
Following the team's split between Charlotte and Virginia, the hospitality extended by Mama, Maiju, Mamu, and Dada in Virginia transcended mere words. Amidst this warmth, a brief stop at a Nepalese restaurant treated us to unparalleled delights. Retracing our steps to North Carolina, the adept guidance of driver Ranjeeta Maiju accompanied us, elevating our journey with delectable snacks and invigorating teas. Our arrival in North Carolina, graced by the embrace of Jharana and Jwai, evoked awe as the clock neared 7pm. Amidst a backdrop of delectable cuisine and resonating laughter, we savored precious moments.

North Carolina:
Fortunate to have crossed paths with Hansa Bahen, Anoop Bhai, and numerous esteemed Sisters and Brothers. Their benevolent presence graced our family with purity as we united to joyously celebrate Rakshya Bandhan. Venturing into the neighborhood, a shared stroll revealed the delightful presence of turtles, inviting joy for both young and old. We were truly touched and deeply appreciative of the extraordinary hospitality extended to us by both Saroj Dai and family, as well as Rakesh Dai and family. The dinner that was graciously served to us surpassed all expectations, undoubtedly ranking as one of the finest culinary experiences in town. The exchange of memories, relived and shared, added a profound layer of joy to the occasion, creating a truly memorable and cherished moment of utmost delight.

Carolina Beach:
A sojourn to the seaside followed, delivering an unforgettable encounter with the waves. While salty water quenched our thirst, its abundance prompted reflections, and sun-kissed skin bore testament to hours well spent. In the realm of the extraordinary, these experiences etched themselves, forever surpassing our wildest dreams. We find ourselves greatly privileged to have been bestowed with their heartfelt blessings, an occurrence that fills us with profound gratitude.

In the grand tapestry of our 2023 USA trip, love, laughter, and care were interwoven seamlessly. Jharana and Jwai stood out as true friends of humanity, embodying their convictions through actions, not just words. Their boundless love and unwavering focus on their goals were inspiring lessons we took to heart. They truly epitomize remarkable personalities and cherished souls – individuals of great stature and profound thinking.

Sending heartfelt love to all who were part of this unforgettable journey.
