DELAWARE....FINALLY!!!!!


 Hello everyone!!! So we are finally in Delaware and it is beautiful here!  The past few days we stayed in Pennsylvania for two nights, and Baltimore, Maryland for one night and now we're in Delaware.  
We were finally in Pennsylvania!!!
 
Driving the car
This is all the driving we did!!!!
 When we got to Pennsylvania we stayed with the Lucas family who Melissa knew from last year.  They were wonderful to us and we had so much fun with them!!! They made us dinner and we went to Bible study with them.  Their one daughter was doing a workcamp in Racine, Wisconsin this week.  Then they took us to this ice cream place Sarris and it was delicious!!!!  We stayed the night there and the next night we stayed in Pittsburg and hung out with the Week of Hope crew who is assigned in Pittsburgh. We hung out with them and saw their school, saw an awesome view of the city from a spooky place, and got fro-yo!!!!  We had an awesome time with them!!!
We stayed in Cannonsburg, Pennsylvania for the night with a co-sponsor from last year.

Off to Pittsburgh we go!!!
The Heinz factory!!!!
Apparently this is famous in Pittsburgh...I ate the best cheeseburger here that I have ever had!!!!
The Chesapeake Bay!!!!
 After we were in Pennsylvania we went to Maryland!!!  It was my first time ever there and I really liked it!  I thought it was beautiful there!  We then made our treck to our final destination....DELAWARE!!!!

Finally here!!!!

it was 6:16 on June 16th!!! I thought that was cool, and there's my cute puppa!!!!
So, we are finally in Delaware.  We got here and we decided to eat lunch on the beach.  Then we went to the church and met with our co-sponsor ( the person who is putting on the camp for us and who has organized everything for us before we get here) Pastor Woody.  He is the nicest man and has such a kind house.  They have put us up in a beach house until Wednesday and then we are moving to a motel that the church owns which is right on the boardwalk by the beach.  Ocean View is a really cute little town and it is a lot of fun so far.  This morning we went and met our setup directors Steve and Chip.  They are wonderful and we got so much done today!!! I'm hoping we get a lot done tomorrow so we can take Wednesday off and go to the beach...probably won't happen but a girl can dream right???  Pastor Woody and his wife Christina are spoiling us rotten and to be honest we are loving every second of it!!!  The people here are wonderful and about 30 or more volunteers showed up today to help us with set up.  The people here have such giving hearts and the camp is already so organized.  I am so excited to be a part of Ocean View's first workcamp, and hopefully there will be many more to come.  After dinner we went and walked on the beach and we decided to go swimming so we went out before sunset and went swimming and we had the BEST time...if only the sun would have been out so I could have gotten a tan...oh well  maybe tomorrow!!!!!!  I'm excited that we have finally started working and that I can start wearing my red shirt so I don't have to pick out my outfits anymore hahah!!!  I hope you are all having a wonderful summer and here are more pictures of Delaware and the beach!!!!!!
