Day 40: Our Nations Capitol

This morning we headed out to Mclean Bible Church with Lee where we met Lyle’s Dad who had come down to spend father’s day with us.  This was our first true Mega Church experience as we were blown away by the shear magnitude of the church,  the police were set up outside directed traffic for the large numbers of cars which were pouring in.  We parked in the largest parking deck we’ve ever seen and then headed into the church.  After church we grabbed lunch at a local restraint where we were surprised to see Scott Turner and another friend Dave Ausman, also eating lunch.  Afterwards we headed back to Lee’s place to enjoy some home grown raspberries from Lancaster on top of ice cream.  WE decided to go visit our friends who are doing the program inside DC this summer and were excited to see the place that Scott and our other friend Scotty Ford were temporarily calling home.  We briefly went down to the mall and took a look at the Lincoln Memorial and Washington Monument before we headed back to Lee’s for the night.  Perhaps the most exciting moment of this day was opportunity to send our trailers home with Lyle’s Dad.  Dropping the burden that we had carried for the past several weeks was a great feeling.  That evening we relaxed while watching some television and getting to bed early in hopes of heading out extra early the following morning.
