Our long awaited trip to Kentucky finally arrived! After months of
planning, the day came faster than we had anticipated, yet we were
excited about the experiences that lie ahead. We left Alma at nine in
the morning and had a pleasant, yet uneventful trip. Since we arrived
earlier than expected we decided to take a nature walk through McConnel
Springs.
After we explored for a while, we drove to Lexington, Kentucky where Dr. Timothy Carbary, an Alma College alumnus, graciously opened his home to all of us so that we could eat dinner. He shared with us his musical talents and welcomed us to the Bluegrass State. While we enjoyed visiting with Dr. Carbary and his family, we still had a few hours of driving ahead of us, so we thanked him and continued on our journey.
After a little confusion, we arrived in Chavies
around 10:30. Exhausted from the car ride, we unpacked our bags and
made ourselves comfortable. This is our home for the next week and we
are now all part of a family. It is finally spring break and now it is
time to put all of our planning into action.
