Despite David’s disdain for personal blogs, we decided this would be the most efficient way to keep everyone up-to-date on our trip to Seattle…especially since we now have internet access in the car through David’s cell phone (welcome to the 21st century!). We left camp on Friday morning with tears in our eyes but excitement in our hearts. We’ve both grown up at camp, so parting was definitely bittersweet, but once we hit the highway we regained excitement…we’re really doing it!!
Our Friday drive beat all Parker records for the shortest trip duration, as we reached our first destination, Mayville, in only 4 hours. Mayville is a quaint little town bordering Lake Chautauqua, and also happens to be the home of David’s Uncle Jim and Aunt Judy. They were kind enough to take us in for the night, so we were able to spend the evening in pure Parker tradition—trying to beat Grammy in a game of up and down. Our visit was sweet but short, and we were on the road again Saturday morning.

Thanks for the blog! Mom and I continue to pray for you as you travel across this glorious nation; so many things to see and do! We can relate to the tears in saying "good-bye" and the joys of anticipation for what lies ahead. We pray you live in the tension between what God has done (Praise and thanksgiving!) and what He will do (Prayer and faith) as you begin this new journey of your life! Love you both!
4 hours to Mayville, and I thought I had the record :-(
