So I am going to be a little behind for the last couple of days and possible the next couple of days with updates and pics...due to the fact that I don't and probably won't have internet...SORRY. So let see the last few days...well we stayed and Gloria and Debbie's house until around noon. They have a golf cart and four wheeler. Eddy (on the four wheeler) showed us (on the golf cart...me driving) the back trails in the forest...it was so much fun and we all had a great time!!! You see I haven't gotten to drive and won't get to drive for weeks so any driving I can get in will make me happy...lol. So after we left there we drove for a LONG time...9 hours with the occasional gas and food stops. Now that is a long time. So we stopped in who knows where, Virginia...lol. Right by a Krispy Kreme dougnut shop...so guess what we had for breakfast...that's right FRESH NEWLY cooked doughnuts. They were YUMMUY!!! Today we had to make it to a campsite somewhere right out of Washington D.C. so we can tour the sites for the next few days. Today we started a new adventure by riding the Metro...wo ho fun!!! It's a whole new experience let me tell you. We went and saw Arlington Cemetery with the changing of the guards and tomb of the unknown solider. It wasn't the most exciting thing but defiantly not something I am going to see back home you know. Then we had to drive about an hour to go to my mom's friend's house for dinner and stuff. So now we are just sitting here talking and having a good time...you know whenever we get to talk to people I have a great time and don't miss home as much...which is a good thing because I'll tell you something...I WANT TO COME HOME!!! I an having a good time but I miss everybody and everything!!! It's ok only 26 days left...don't worry or miss me too much, because I know that you all do...lol well I better get going so I can get back out there and start talking again.

Love ya lots

P.S.
Rob - I sure hope that they do like me like you said they would. Me and Grady are pretty bummed out that we are going to be like the last ones to meet them, and you know we are pretty important to the youth group!!! Hope that they are liking the church so far...and I am praying for you all. Have fun at Row & Grow ( but no to much fun because that is hard to do without me I know) and be safe with all the other youth activities you guys have going on throughout the summer. Love you all!!!
