Hello back home!
Barb and Mona got up early today to go register the gang. Little did they know that they would be carrying 16 extra large (no skinny Bibles here) Bibles, 16 backpacks, 16 guidebooks, and 16 t-shirts back to the hotel 20 mins away.
The youth got to sleep in and have a "free" morning before the festivities began. We met with the chaperones for a short meeting at 12 to review plans for the day. We the walked Decatur/Touloose to meet up with the Grey Line Super City Tour (not the highlight of our day =p). After the tour we went to meet Jimmy Buffet at Margaritaville for dinner. There we were allowed to sit at a bar to swing on the tire swings provided. After dinner we hiked about 2 miles to the Super Dome. Our first big night!!
We sat 5 rows from the top. Not fun for some of us (Barb and Mona especially) but nothing for the others. The bands and speakers were awesome with great stories and fun entertainment. After the Dome we went to the Hilton Riverside for a night full of partying. The Meridiths took Piper back to bed as it was way past all of their bed times. Mona and Barb waited for us at Drago's. We got back to the hotel around 11 for final devotions and bed following. A great first day for the Gathering.
