Return to reality day, Monday, July 13th; we set two alarms for 5 a.m. but didn’t need either of them. We left the motel after a quick breakfast, shortly after 6 a.m. We had no problems making our way to the airport and dropping off our rental car. Security didn’t even ask to see Darrell’s 20+ pounds of rocks! However, Em had to go through the metal detector twice before she remembered that she had a granola bar and a couple foil wrapped tea bags in her side jean pocket! Our connections all went as planned, Phoenix, AZ to Philadelphia, PA to Binghamton, NY!! Darrell kept Em busy taking pictures out the airplane window as the terrain changed, flying from state to state; we even got a few of the majestic Grand Canyon and Bryce Canyon. Em declared they’d be lousy pictures, but they turned out to at least represent the dramatic changes along the way. Even the quick Burbon/orange chicken in Phili was tasty! We were very happy to see and get our hugs from our two chauffeurs, as Matt and Jess picked us up at the airport. The Lord blessed us with an amazing trip! It was wonderful to see Josh again, to meet and learn to know Laura, to make two new friends in Roger and Jan, to meet Joe, Teteh, Grant (again) and some of Josh’s other soccer friends. All of this while exploring and experiencing God’s creation through the sites (and tastes and sounds….) of Oregon!!
