Six Days, Seven States

The Fantastic Four Heading out on
our adventure for Summer 2013.

Well, as you know Crew F stayed behind in Loveland, Colorado for a few extra days after the rest of the Workcamp and Week of Hope Crews left. We finally got to get on the road for our first camp on Thursday. It all started with the very scenic drive through Eastern Colorado and Kansas to Salina, KS. First stop. We stayed in a really nice hotel and we were able to grab some of the extra breakfast food and put in our cooler it lasted us a good three days! Thank you AmericInn!! :)

After Salina we continued through the boring state of Kansas to St. Louis, Missouri. There we stayed with our friends the St. Louis Week of Hope. I was under the impression that I was only going to be seeing Steph and Laura. But unto my surprise, Emily and Shannon were there as well!! :) While in St. Louis we went to a place called the City Museum. This is basically a huge playground made up of old buildings and pieces of St. Louis. It was a blast. I still have scrapes and bruises on my legs from it.

Saying goodbye to the St. Louis and Newark girls was difficult. They have a later end date than we do. So who knows the next time we will see them. 

Our next stop was the fabulous city of Nashville. I was super pumped for this stop. We got to spend four days in Nashville. We started by staying one night with the Week of Hope Nashville girls!! It was amazing to see Laura, Leah, and Rachel again. They are such amazing people and we were able to help them out a little as they prepare for their camp to start this past Sunday. 

This wonderful girl!!

After a day with them in Nashville, we moved to another part of town. We stayed with my friend, a past summer staffer, Courtney! It had been a little more than one year since I had last seen Courtney. We stayed in her apartment near Vanderbilt's campus. During these two days we were able to go downtown Nashville with another Workcamp crew, and see the Parthenon in Centennial Park, and visit the Grand Ole Opry. 

When we said goodbye to Courtney, we had the opportunity to visit the WOH Nashville girls one more time. This was on their afternoon off. We spent the night relaxing and eating out for Leah's birthday. We definitely headed to bed early because this was our last day of travel week. So we woke up early attended the Morning Program and we headed on to Valdosta, Georgia.
