Summer Vacation - Sunday, July 1st - Just Hanging Out at the Gaylord

Just a day of complete relaxation at the hotel!

We started the day out at the indoor pool and then Nana and Gail decided to go exploring and check out the outdoor pool. The rest of us got cold in the pool and decided to check out the spa services. The spa comes with the room and what an incredible treat it was!

Gwynneth and Gail were all excited to share their walking adventures around the miles of perimeter of the hotel, but once again we were rained out. Driven in by the rain, we all converged at the, you guessed it, the Java cafe, our favorite place to hang out and people watch. We decided we could spend most of our time there just watching the day go by and all the interesting goings on. Spencer decided it was time to take some candid shots before going up to our room for an afternoon siesta.

Refreshed and ready for dinner, we made our way downstairs and had a leisurely dinner. Matt, our way-cool sound guy from India, saw Fay and came over to say Hi and met the rest of the family. We’re getting excited about the start of WI’s events. Spencer will begin his 5-day School of Audio classes with Matt and Vic tomorrow. Mom will sit in in the AM just to see how it all goes, so we decided to take a walk to the convention center and check out where we’ll be attending the events. Just as awesome and incredible as the rest of the hotel. Once again we were drawn by music coming from one of the rooms. Fay peeked inside and discovered that the WI worship team was rehearsing for the week’s events. Excitement is in the air!

We ended our day at the Java Cafe and made our way up to our rooms. A good kind of tired and relaxed, Fay types on into the night, uploading pics and writing blogs while everyone else falls quietly to sleep…

    That place looks absolutely amazing! I’ve never stayed anywhere like that. Looks a little better than the motel 6’s we usually stay in. ;) You guys must be having so much fun. You better take some good 4th of July pics for us. After all, you are in Texas, where they do everything bigger and better, so we wanna see it! Love and miss you all. xoxoxox
