Just a year ago I was on the same road, I-95, headed down to the vigil. It was early in my Union career and I remember much of the experience. I remember not knowing what to expect. I remember the conversations on the drive. I remember the sun. And the southern BBQ we had for one of the dinners. What slipped my mind however was the long drive. Of course, I remember now.
We’ve picked up Seth in Jersey, created some travel games (my two favs being name your supreme court justice’s middle name AND name the nuclear nations – Steve has those initials down!), driven through three states (if we include New York), and near D.C. That is to say, we’ve still got a long way to go.
Richmond for the night – we’ve got a church stay thanks to Emily O’s brother. Tomorrow – more driving. Nay, more conversation and games!
Thanks for your thoughts, prayers, and comments. Keep em coming!
Why didn’t we think of car games last year? Oh wait, because Peter probably would’ve said ‘no’.
Saw the van pic – is that the exact same model we had last year?!
Thanks for sharing thus far and can’t wait to hear more – safe travels to you all for this next leg!
peace, anna
Thank you for making this big trip to witness for peace, and for all of us at Union. I am holding you all in prayer this weekend. I hope you have safe travels, a rich experience, and that this will be the last year this vigil needs to be held. Blessings to you, Ann
