vacation wrap-up

saturday, july 8
After stopping by the Holland Farmer's Market, we met Robin in Grand Haven. While trying to park, Monica's car got stuck in a sandy spot. Very stuck. After help from a couple of men, we finally got it out.

After lunch, we walked out to the pier, got some ice cream, and walked around downtown. That night, Monica & I finished Pride and Prejudice.

sunday, july 9
Monica and I had the opportunity to visit Mars Hill on Sunday. It was a good experience. Many times, when I visit another church, it is hard for me to get out of critique-mode and truly worship, but I was able to do it there. They had a creative time for prayer, in which the worship leader incorporated a musical responsive chant with silent prayer for families, the church, community, city, country, and world. Their passion for helping the oppressed and needy was evident in everything they did.

After church, we met Robin for lunch and then went to the Meyer May House, which was built in 1908 by Frank Lloyd Wright. It was very cool.

We went back to Monica's that night and ate at Hacienda. Yum! I miss Hacienda.

monday, july 10
I went through Warsaw on my way home, had lunch with my friend Tiphanie, saw the staff at Presby, and caught my friend Caroline at work on my way home.

It was a fun vacation with perfect weather, great friends, and good food. I am so thankful for the chance to see my friends and for a terrific week!
