Hello, everyone, and welcome back to Anna's Awesome Adventures! You know I can never stay away from fun and excitement for too long. This time around, I'll be journeying (with my mom and brother) to Texas for the National Youth Gathering, visiting relatives, and some other fun stuff. The National Youth Gathering (NYG) will be taking place from July 1 to 5. It is a gathering of Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod (LCMS) churches from all over the United States (even Alaska and Hawaii) to celebrate and grow in their faith while having fun! It's held every three years and this is my first one. It's going to be in San Antonio. It does keep you very busy from morning until late at night, so if blogging slows down during this coming week, don't worry. I'll be back before you know it, so stick with me.
So today (Saturday, June 29, 2013) was the first day of this 12-day trip. I woke up at 7 AM, had some cereal and milk for breakfast, finished all the last-minute loading/packing, prayed, said good-bye to my dad, and headed for I-44 at 8:45. We stopped for gas/bathroom at Springfield, then into Oklahoma, where we stopped at 12:50 to put together lunch. I had driven until then. Matthew took the wheel from there while I enjoyed a tuna wrap, Ritz-Bit cracker, cheese stick, and pineapple juice. At 3:40, I started driving again and drove through the last two counties of Oklahoma and into Texas (yaay...two new states I've driven in). Two hours later, we stopped for gas/bathroom/windshield cleaning, and Matthew drove from there to our hotel in Dallas, Texas -- a Comfort Suite. After checking in, we headed to supper at Beto's, a great Mexican restaurant. I had the stacked enchiladas -- four tortillas with cheese, beef, and chicken. Topping it off was salsa and chips, beans, and rice. Yum!
Now I'm ready to get all ready for bed and go to sleep. It'll be a nice early bedtime! Tomorrow, I'll be heading for some fun adventures to kick off the trip. Check in to find out what happens!!
