Well.....we arrived safey in Baltimore yesterday after waking up at 4am, taking two, 2 1/2 hour flights with a stop in Houston. Everything and everyone arrived safely but Sherri's luggage. For some reason it didn't arrive but it finally made it to the hotel last night.
After we got here we headed to the church where the conference is being held to drop off our gear and then headed to the hotel to check in and grab some grub at Outback Steakhouse.
After dinner a few of us decided to go check out downtown DC on our own. You know me.......I've gotta take advantage of such a great opportunity to experience the culture first hand. It was FUN! We first took a taxi from the hotel to the metro.
Then we took the metro to the Adam's Mogan district where there is a WHOLE lot to see and experience.
We ended up at a place with a great band playing Reggae music. It was loud and proud! And I'm not just talking about the music. Steve mentioned it was probably around 103-105 decibels. Regardless, we had a great time hanging out, listening to great LIVE music, getting to know each other, and PEOPLE WATCHING! (my personal favorite)
It ended with an hour taxi ride back to the hotel which should have take only 25-30 minutes. But our driver got lost, yes lost, and Steve had to end up calling the hotel to get directions or we may still be driving around the DC area! Thanks for bailing us out of that one Steve.
The conference kicks off tonight with our worship concert at 6:30p. I really feel like God is going to do something amazing while we are here. Both in us, and in those who will be attending. More to come tomorrow.
