Home Sweet Home

Well here we are yesterday just before we packed up the camper to leave Creation 2011!!  We were all really tired but it was a "good" tired, if that makes any sense!   Matthew was still talking about his awesome brush with Toby Mac!   I think that was probably the highlight of his week!  
I was really surprised that we were able to pack everything back and get everything to fit in the camper and car.   Usually when I travel I can never fit the same clothes into the same suitcase!    However, Chris did mention that we ate most of the groceries so that saved us some space!

We promised the boys a hot breakfast on the way home because we basically forced cold cereal on them the whole week.   Not that we didn't want a hot breakfast ourselves but we really didn't want to clean up pans from eggs and bacon all week.   So we stopped at a place called Kay's Place, it was probably an hour from the festival site - I don't remember what town it was.   But it was a small family restaurant and they had the best omelets and pancakes!    They were also very friendly.    Something to keep in mind for next year.

Speaking of next year, we are already planning for next year.   First on the list is a smaller generator that we don't have to carry inside of the car.   I actually saw one today and I will keep an eye out for a sale!   Also something I saw today that might be useful is a battery charged water pump which will pump the shower water up so that we don't have to kneel to wash our hair!   We have decided not to purchase hot shower passes for next year and just use the shower tent.    We used it when we got desperate this year and we decided that we liked it better than waiting in line for showers.    We also thought that it might be a good idea to shell out the money for an electric campsite - if only for the fact that the electric campground is in "C" which is much closer to the main stage.    We were in "J" which is almost as far as you can get!

Chris, Matthew and Emily came over for breakfast this morning after a good nights sleep and we had a great breakfast of biscuits and gravy with a side of eggs and bacon!   Then we proceeded to clean our the camper and the car and figure out which items goes to which house.  We set up the tents to let them dry only to have them rained on again when we went to Roanoke later in the day!!   It's all good.

So this is my last Creation Fest blog posting for this year, however I will next be blogging about another topic - stay tuned!     Thanks for reading.
