Weekend at Wyndham Hotel and Conference Center

 

Well, "we have arrived".. can't usually say that, can you, Joe?:)

Dr. Jim let us know that we would be staying in a hotel

the weekend after we were in Greensboro, NC.  I think we

were all looking forward to a little relax and unwind time!

We just didn't know how nice the hotel would be!!!

It was awesome!  Felt a bit out of place after just

traveling for hours and looking so bedraggled!;-)

 Here is our nice room!!!

 I just had to get a pic of the pillows!:-)

 It's not only a hotel but also a conference center..

The atmosphere was so relaxing and peaceful.

They even had classical music playing in the walkways.

 We all had the opportunity to get checked in and then just

to chill for a while.. It was nice to take a little nap, and I

think the guys enjoyed crashing for like three hours!!!

I guess the difference is that they work hard and we don't,

ya think, guys???;-)

 After resting for a bit and leisurely taking my time to pamper

myself..:-) I went out and enjoyed a little stroll.. the evening

was BEAUTIFUL!  I just caught the last part of this GORGEOUS

sunset!!! So, of course, what do you think I had to do???;-)

 

We went to Chick-fil-A for dinner.. of course, when

you're down south, where else would you go?!;-)

 

I had to get a picture of my "organized tray" for Leah!:-)

 

Sorry the picture is crooked, but I had to get a picture and

put it on here.. it's not everyday that a banana waits on you!;-)

 When we got back to the hotel, we toured around some..

Nicole and I explored the ball rooms.. We were 

"highly disappointed", as Nicole so nicely, yet bluntly put it!;-)

Carl even showed us through some "secret passageways"

that connect the buildings.  We enjoyed imagining

what it would've been like to be chased by bandits,

and trying to escape through the king's passageway!;-)

 The next morning we met up with the Van Gelderens 

again at a small church where we ministered for the morning

before heading on to our final destination for the week in

Woodbridge, Virginia, only about an hour away from where we'd stayed.
