On our way...


At 6:30am on Saturday morning, we were on our way. Phone calls and text messages with the occupants of a couple of other vehicles confirmed that the VonHoltens, Carlsons, N Dels, and "the 3 girls" pulled out at approximately the same time from their respective homes.


"Scenery " along the way...

This year is a big year for cicadas in the Chicago area - But apparently we live in a non-cicada area, so we haven't seen ANY until we stopped to pick up some sound equipment when we spotted this one in the parking lot.

Ah yes, loading up the sound/lighting equipment for the festivities this week here in Jamestown

The various ones of us that left together in the morning took different routes, made different stops (to pick up equipment, to visit relatives, etc.) but we all arrived at our hotel in Gaithersburg within 2 hours of each other. After a short night's sleep and quick breakfast, we were once again on the road Sunday morning.

Jeremy and Robert encountered the cicadas on Saturday in Westmont while taking down a free swingset. They were loud and were many.

Sounds like the trip out went smoothly enough. Praise the Lord.

Blessings,
The Gould Family
