Filed Under (Family) by Paul Bankson on 29-07-2008

The family and I returned yesterday from living a full week in a pop-up camper in western North Carolina.  This was a REAL family vacation as we were joined by Connie’s sister, brother, their families, as well as my parents.  Once again, a good time was had by all.  We enjoyed cool temps, lots of grilling, campfires with s’mores, hiking, and mountain biking.  The picture above is a scene my sons, my nephew, and I were able to  view while riding on trails in the Dupont State Forest near Brevard, NC.

One of the greatest beneifts of the week was how disconnected I was.  No TV, computer, and very little cell phone coverage meant a real break from technology addiction.  As with most vacations, this one seemed too short and left me needing a vacation in order to recover from my vacation.

Now to get to work on I Peter- home of the next sermon series here at HLPC.

Welcome back. We rolled into Brevard for lunch on Thursday, and hoped we might bump into y’all (it was a longshot, I know). It would have been cool to see you.

I’m glad it was such a good trip. 1 Peter is awesome; Peter Davids’ commentary is a must-have.

Ed- thanks for the commentary recommendation, I’ll get it.

Sorry we missed you in Brevard. I had no cell phone coverage at the campground and with all the family with us, had very little time to get away. Hope you had a good week as well.

What, no snakebites, getting lost in the woods, unexplainable rashes, trips to the hospital, avalanches, or busted wheels?

How dull. Welcome home, hope you can get to something more exciting!

Andrew had a very good wipeout on Thursday when his handgrip came completely off on a downhill run but thankfully no serious injury.

Lucy the beagle did find a snake on a nighttime walk. It just slithered off the other way.
