Sunday morning we got up, got dressed, and, armed with my trusty maps once again, attempted to find our way through town to the nearest ward building.
Creepy midget door right next to our hotel room...
As we were driving there was a dead possum in the road. We passed it and I said, "Possum." Julia freaked out.
"That was a possum!? We don't have those in Arizona!"
We had a bit of difficulty trying to figure out how to get to the church building once we got there because my maps were telling me to go into a gated community. Uh....yeah...not really an option. So, we had to find another little access road to get there. Finally we did, and had a nice Sacrament Meeting. Except for the brother who sat down to "chat" with us and proceeded to tell us this lengthy story all about his brother and sister-in-law who were visiting their kids in Arizona and were still there because his brother had a heart attack and was in the hospital. I said, "I'm so sorry! I hope he's okay." The guy looked at me and said, "No. He's not."
I....k....not really sure how to respond to that, or where to go from here, so...yeah...
After Sacrament Meeting we left and drove across the street to walk around the temple. It was so pretty! So much green with the grass and all the trees!
After staying at the temple for a while, we drove back to our hotel room, ate some lunch, and changed to go to the beach. Before coming on this trip I had contacted a couple friends I have that live in Orlando (Lauren Taylor and Kristen Miedema) and we had set up that we were going to meet up and go to the beach Sunday afternoon/evening. We made plans on when and were to meet, and went to New Smyrna Beach. It was so pretty! I love the ocean, and now I can say I've touched the Atlantic Ocean.
Me, Lauren, and Kristen
Sunday night, when we got back to our room, we ate some dinner and watched Once Upon A Time, then went to bed in preparation for our week long amusement park marathon to start in the morning!
