Our first day of "Cleveland Rocks 2013" is in the books and has gone off without a hitch. Check back soon as Mr. G will be posting links to the photos taken today. Both the Marion and Mount Holly groups arrived at the rendezvous point ahead of time this morning. We made the necessary adjustments, loaded all the luggage and we were on our way.
We are so glad to have Ralph Swanson and Scott Griffin as our bus drivers for this trip. We couldn't ask for any better navigators who are fun to be with yet take their driving and our safety seriously.
It has been a fairly uneventful day of traveling if you leave out the bird who crash-landed into the front windshield of the bus early this morning. Most everyone missed that part as it was over before it began! We had a quick stop for lunch at a travel plaza so our group had four different options of food to choose from.
We arrived safe and sound at our hotel just after 6 pm and got settled in and unpacked. We shared a tasty dinner together of Fried Chicken, Green Beans, Salad, Mac and Cheese, Rolls and Cookies. That was followed with information about the week and group devotions led by Sydney Sisk from Mt Holly. Since this is our first night of tour, we had many things on our agenda to review about the week ahead. We are going to be very busy with concerts, work projects and keeping up with the jam-packed schedule. No doubt, our first time singers are going to get the full-on gauntlet experience of all that tour has to offer. With a day that started early and 500 miles of travel behind us, we were ready and willing to turn in this evening.
Keep us in your prayers. We have a great week ahead and can't wait to see what God has in store for us tomorrow.

Kind of hard to be a photographer on this trip today as bus driving has consumed me. However, I will get better and hopefully capture come memories for us all. Also hoping some of the youth will send me some of their shots as well! Many thanks to Lynn Ealey and Paige Brinkley for sharing today. I have some equipment malfunction with my card reader and cannot download from my primary camera tonight. Hope to get a new one tomorrow!
