Trip Pix

Hello Everyone,

I just uploaded a bunch of pictures from the big trip Connor and I just finished. You can view them by clicking here.

Brief explanations for the ones that need them (in order that they appear):

- in front of the Deal's house in Glendale/Phoenix, AZ

- post OK sign - We were able to stop by the bombing site/memorial in Oklahoma City. A unique and ponderable experience. The reflecting pool is where the original street was. The two dark walls at each end of the pool represent the times of 9:01 (the last minute of innocence, because the bomb went off at 9:02) and 9:03 when everything changed forever. These times are engraved in large type on the top of the walls. The green grass with the chairs on it is the footprint of the original building. The chairs represent those who died. The smaller chairs represent the children who died. The one picture with Connor by a jagged wall is of the one remaining piece of the original building. The "dog area" picture is at a rest area in OK. The "City Dogs" has a fire hydrant and the "Country Dogs" have a stump. Thought it was funny.

- post Arkansas sign - Geoff sitting in a rocker at the Russellville, AR "Cracker Barrell." We never got to eat at one but we went inside this one. Love that atmosphere :-)

- post Mississippi River - fireworks tent where we bought $30 worth for 20. We have yet to set them off ;-)

- post "crosses at Bellevue" - Rocketown in downtown Nashville. And hangout spot for Nashville's inner cith youth founded by Michael W. Smith (and wife Debbie) along with Alan and Denise Jackson (among others).

- post Kentucky pics - Abraham Lincoln's birthplace and boyhood home

3040 miles of God's grace and provision!
