Trip Home Part 1

I know this is a kids ministry blog, but my aunt asked for us to do a travel journal, so I hope you don't mind. Tomorrow my sister joins me and the photography will begin. Perhaps we will share some.

Today I left after church. There were a lot of people to say goodbye too and I know I will miss them all.

After a quick stop at Walgreens for ice and drinks I headed out. I was very excited when I got to Fernley and gas was $3.83. The things that make people excited, I know. My stop for tonight is a place affectionately called by Nevada Baptists "equally inconvenient for all."

As much as people complain about the drive to Vegas, the first 4 hours really wasn't bad. I enjoyed the sites, and Nevada still takes my breath away. I was very excited when I made it here and only used a little less than half a tank of gas, and when I saw the gas prices on the outskirts of town I inwardly groaned, even though I had expected it to be much more expensive. Taking advice from someone, I'm not sure who, I decided to ride into town and see if I could get a better price. Considering we are in the middle of nowhere and they could honestly probably charge anything, I was thrilled when in town it was only $3.95.

Really, I haven't done much since I got here, mostly because I needed to catch up on some things before this trip really began. So I ate at the hotel, basking in typical Nevada's hotel, casino, and places to eat.

Admittedly, this first leg wasn't overly exciting, but I promise it will get better from here, considering Vegas is next on the list.
