Day 9 of our June 2008 vacation

After breakfast, we packed up the camper (it had rained the evening before so it took some extra time to dry off the sunbrella walls before folding up the pop-up camper.) Lots of caterpillars were attempting to make their cocoons in our chairs that we had put underneath the camper, so that took awhile to remove all of them as well.

We showered and went to our sister church in Gaithersburg MD called Covenant Life Church. It was Father's day, and we heard an excellent message to father's from Psalm 78 by pastor Don DeVries who made 3 main points:
1) God has called fathers to tell His story.
2) God has called fathers to teach His Word.
3) God has called fathers to embrace His purposes.

We met with some old friends from church, Bill and Nancy Whitacre who had moved back to Virginia about 4 year years ago, and they drove up to meet us at Covenant Life instead of their main church in Fairfax which was so nice of them. We had lunch together at Panera Bread and caught up on each other's lives - it was a fun time to spend together.

Then we drove to French Creek State Park in PA and set up camp. The gas is much less expensive in PA than it is in MD or VA (more like the price in CO).
