Heading home with helpers

I couldn’t skip past this – our first Buc-cee’s visit.
We all hope it is not the last!

We made it to the SAV airport around 1:30PM.  We returned the cars (it was harder than we thought) and headed to the arrival concourse where we were met with three new friends from church in three vehicles.

Not all heroes wear capes.

After a week+ of driving a rental vehicle all over Georgia and Florida, it felt like a giant hug to climb into these waiting trucks and van and just be provided for.

We were home around 5:30PM and found some food and sunk into the unpacking process.

Park Day. Focus: Favorites repeated!

Stewart and Noelle’s friend, Kyle, joined us late last evening.  He braved the massive rain and came the three hours up from his family’s new home in FL.  Once from central NY, they also relocated last year. 

We started the morning with devotion – this time Johanna read the bible passages.

Nan decided she’d take another day off, and the rest of headed to the parks.  Entering is now old hat.  Kyle has a season pass and he got me free parking.

Hulk.  Spider-Man.  Starbucks.  Storm Force. 
We did a lot of favorites a second time.

It was pretty hot.

Marie and I opted to do another ride through Velocicoaster.  Otherwise, we kind of just all be-bopped around.

I guess when you are done, you are done.  About 4:30PM or so we exited the park and found Stewart, Noelle and Kyle shopping.

Back at the rental there was some resting, lots of packing, and dinner.

Kyle’s mom had sent him with brownies and Stromboli.  It was fabulous.

We weren’t trying to leave before dawn, but we needed an early start.  The plan was to meet some men from our church family at the Savannah airport around 1PM.
