Ken and I were up bright and early and got ready for our Mission Trip to Sager Brown in Baldwin, LA. Ernie and Noela stopped by at 7:15 to say good-bye and wish us a safe trip.
At 7:30, Burt and Pat arrived and we loaded ALL our things in their car. We were concerned that we would have a lot more "stuff" then they had, but they packed rather "heavily" also. We are used to packing for a trip in Wilbur, and Ken and I tell each other to pack anything you think you will need, because we have plenty of room. Needless to say, we always take too much stuff and this trip is probably not an exception!
We met the other 5 folks at the church and by 8 we were on our way. We started as a "caravan", but knew we would end up separated for most of the trip. One other couple will be joining us tomorrow at our Sager Brown destination after spending last week in Texas with family.
The drive went extremely well with a few stops for gas, drinks and lunch at Wendy's near Lake City. We arrived at the Red Roof Inn at Pensacola around 4:15, and we were the last one's to arrive - we definitely had a lnice, leisure drive although the rest of the group only arrived a little before us.
We all met at 5:30 and walked to Sonny's Barbeque which was right next store. We had a fun time of fellowship and good food (you know how much I like Sonny's!). Back to the motel and Burt and Pat came to our room to play Hand and Foot. There were no tables and chairs available anywhere in the hotel, so we set up the ironing board between our 2 queen sized beds and played - worked well. The men gave up after 3 rounds. In bed by 9:15 to do some reading and then off to dreamland!
Looking forward to getting to know this group better and all the other people we will be with this next week plus the projects we will do to help those folks less fortunate!
