Meeting New Cousins

Another great breakfast was served before we met down in the lobby to head to church. We met 2 of Barbara's boys there and both of their wives. These boys have been married for almost 5 years and we had not yet met their wives so this was a real treat. Becky's boy Jonathan also came for church. We were teasing him about not getting to meet his wife (he is not yet married) and he came back with, "I'll bring my 3 girlfriends!" church was awesome, there is no other word that fits, to come so far and worship with like minds and hearts is a little bit of heaven here on Earth. The choir sang after the second service and after that everyone was enjoying catching up with all the news and visiting with each other no one was in a hurry to leave the building. We didn't get back to the hotel until almost 4:00pm. Mom, Mark and I decided to relax in the hot tub and swim in the pool before dinner to work up an appetite. We walked to the restaurant which was called, Souplantation. It was a big soup and salad bar with a sundae bar for dessert. There were many different soups to try and the 2 I tried were delicious. The salad bar was filled with fresh vegetables. We are going to head to bed early, we have a wake-up call scheduled for 3:45am and need to pull out of the hotel by 4:15am to get the rental car back in time to catch our 7:30am flight. We are only 36 miles from the airport but were told with traffic it will take just over an hour to get there even at that time in the morning.
