We departed from the Church of Universal Fellowship at 8:15 and despite Brooke's ENORMOUS duffle bag we managed to fit everything and everyone into two mini-vans! Hooray!
We drove.
And drove.
And drove.
(Okay we stopped a few times--Kennebunk and at the I-90 rest stop.)
And finally, around 5:00 p.m., we arrived at our hotel in the middle of lovely suburban Long Island. The kids unpacked, Jameson and Ben worked out (ambitious little buggers), and then at 6:30 p.m. we departed for a night of Italian food at Alfredos in Westbury, New York.
Alfredos was quite the place, very local Long Island with pizza, calzones and garlic knots to die for! We had a lovely leisurely meal and an order of two dozen garlic knots for the table. (You can probably guess how we're all smelling right about now...riding in a van with us is just plain delightful!)
We finished our meal, roamed a bit around Westbury, and now we are back at the hotel --Jameson and Ben are working out again, they're impressive--and the rest of us are relaxing and about to engage in the rousing board game Quelf! Tomorrow's an early morning--we're hitting the road by 7:30 a.m. to make sure we're on time for our site assignments! It should be an exciting and powerful day! We'll write more tomorrow, and have much more inspiring photos!
