Roughly done schedule as follows…
Thursday, June 5th…our plane leaves Louisville at 6:30 AM (which means we got up around 3:30 and had to be at the airport around 5ish…yuck…the kids all stayed in their pjs until we reached Florida, because it was soo early, and I didn’t want to have to deal with clothes in the 
morning.) Fly into Washington DC where we have a 1 hour lay-over…not too bad…that gave us time to get some food. The kids loved riding on the airplane as you can tell from the pictures.
We arrived in Florida at around noon. Bro. Jack picked us up and we headed back to his house where we would be staying for the week.
We tried to relax a bit and get everyone ready for the service that night at 7. The church Trevor was going to be speaking at was an hour and a half away. We made it tho and the kids did fine and Trevor preached a great little sermon on backsliding. (I’ll let him fill in the details on his blog).
Friday morning was “guy time”. All the guys met at a park where they kayaked and grilled out and fellowshipped. They were supposed to be back to the house by noonish but ended up staying all day. Meaning they were gone from about 630 AM to about 530 PM. What did i do?? I watched the kids again. =)
When Trevor finally did get back , we took the kids to the beach. They had been wanting to see it and since we didn’t have a service that night , we figured that was the only night we could do it. The beach was beautiful. The boys built a sand tower where they could store water. The waves kept taking it out tho. Why is it that they always build the sand castles right next to the water and then get upset when the waves take them out??
Saturday morning…um…what did we do Saturday morn? Oh yes…I remember…We went to Target to get the kids some toys. Bro. Jack’s kids are all teenagers, so there wasn’t much at his house for them to do. Since the airport wanted 25 dollars each way for the one extra bag we would have taken with toys it in, we decided it was cheaper to just skip the extra bag a buy the kids a few toys to play with down there. So that’s what we did. I was also introduced a Carmel Frapachino from Starbucks. Very addicting. It became my sanity saver. =)
Saturday night we had another service. This one was at Bro. Jack’s church tho, so it was only about 20 mins away. Trevor preached again. Another great sermon. The kids all fell asleep so I actually got to enjoy the service this time. YIPEE!!!
Sunday Morning was another service in which Trevor preached again. Kids didn’t sleep but were very well behaved , so I was able to enjoy this one as well.
After church Bro. Jack took us out to eat at a really cool Caribbean style restaurant. I had never eaten that kind of food before, so i wasn’t sure what to order. Trevor explained what each item on the menu was and I just picked one. I scored….It was awesome!!! I cant remember the name of it but it was very good. And HUGE!!! The amount of food that they bring you is enough to last you 2 full meals. I ate the leftovers for supper that night. YUMMY!!
Sunday evening, there was no service, so we just sat around the house and fellowshipped. Bro Jack has a nice pool, so the boys had a ball swimming while we were there.
