Road Trip

Since Tuesday, a group of friends and I have been driving up from Austin to the Northeast to help a friend move his family to Cincinnati, Ohio. The first place we stopped was in Memphis, Tennessee for some BBQ and then we drove up to Mammoth Cave National Park in Kentucky where we camped and got to see the caves.

After that we made it to Cincinnati where we unloaded his stuff and got to spend time with some people we had known from the church we meet with in Austin. They showed us around Cincinnati and I got to see a lot of the city. Cini is an older city and you can tell it has a lot of history in its buildings but some parts even reminded me of Austin because of all the coffee, music, and hippie’s you see.

Afterward, we headed to Fairborn, Ohio where some friends showed us around the Air Force Museum. Inside I even got to touch the actual bomber that dropped the atomic bomb in Nagasaki during WWII. Later we spent the day touring Wright University in Fairborn and then relaxed at their house where we had a cookout. The cool part was after dinner we all just sat together and talked. Two friends from Holland we're also visiting and they shared some of their testimony about how they met the Lord at a young age. It's cool to see that even in a place across the world the Lord finds ways to reach people my age. Even a friend that drove up with us shared his testimony about how spending time with other christians in homes and meeting with them in college was the reason that he was still with the Lord today.

It’s been fun but there's still a lot more of our trip left. Tomorrow we're heading to Ann Arbor, Michigan and then we’ll spend a few days in Chicago before we head back to Austin.
