Today had an easy going start. Most of us had packed the night before, so we wouldn't have to wake up early. Double check the room, triple check the room! We prayed one last time at "home" before saying our goodbyes to the Small family. They were going to Kansas for a family reunion, so they were leaving us. We hit up Starbucks one more time before setting out on the road.
David's car talked first about our favorite mission, favorite memories, and favorite performance. We weren't as energetic as David needed, and I"m sure he was falling asleep as we watched Swat Cats and deeply discussed what supplies would be needed in a Zombie apacalypse, and whether we would give up or not in an alien invasion.
Patty's Platoon kept entertained by drawing dogs on thier hands (poor Ben) and made stories about George (Ben's hand) Georgeina (yes, but this is the "European" spelling; Hannah's hand) and all the puppies, George JR, Billy the First, and Agnus (she is the mutant one) we couldn't stop laughing when they told us.
When we got a call for an emergency potty break from one of the back vans, we looked for somewhere to stop. No lie, we see a sign that says "Jerky: free samples" so we swerved off the road to stop. The salsa was fine (though not as hot as boasted), and the jerky was fantastic. After we got plenty of dried beef, we got back on the road.
The next stop was for lunch at Vernon. There was McDonalds, KFC and Subway... and Braums. (Some of us ate fresh just make the freaky sprint across a slow highway for icecream. After that stop, we loaded back up, and our van began STARWARS! (Return of the Jedi) Since most of us had seen spoofs of the movie, we joked about the movie almost the entire time. But after a while, we decided to play the game of Life on David's iPad. It was great fun, but before we could finish, we reached the hotel. We had 30 minutes of change/chill time, before we went to dinner.
Dinner was SOOOO fun! We went to a little Italian restaurant and met up with Chelsea Lemon from camp. We had to go sit in the patio area so there was enough room for all of us. While there, the boys once again posed for model pics (that we could send to Steph and Linda so they wouldn’t be left out) a band was there, setting up as we talked. Our waiter was very knowledgeable about the food and was awesome about giving everyone suggestions. The house Italian was made at the restaurant and he recommended it highly. Ben trusted him and got it on his salad, and those around him dipped the bread. SO GOOD! While (random) joking about what Andy would be if he wasn't saved (the girls gave him Italian mobster job), the owner of the restaurant starts yelling at the band, telling them to hurry up already (all in a joking matter) He introduced himself (Eddie) and let us know if we didn't like the music, let him know and he'd break his legs (such perfect timing after the mob comment)

The Band started and the girls immediately started singing along. Rachael was right under the lead singer and was singing rather loudly, so the band leader (keyboards) invited her to come up! We all cheered and whooped as she harmonized with the lead. It was so awesome. After a huge round of applause from everyone, we had got our checks and waved as we left.
We finished the day off with relaxed time at the hotel and fellowship with each other and with Chelsea.
