others didn't have the appeal that the bbq place did.
Small rodeo so not many trucks to choose from, but we did
well with what we picked.

Sounds like... :) I suppose another rodeo might have some
other trucks, so you might have others to choose from... :)

Hopefully so. It was quite hot out there so not too many people
yet (and we were on the early side of the hours posted). Maybe
more came as the afternoon wore on.

At least one wouldn't have to heat up the kitchen... (G)

True--we got the sandwiches (on big buns) to go; they were still warm
when we got home. (Home was only a few blocks away.)

Quite convenient, too... :)

get VBS craft projects pulled together over the week end.

And soon enough, you'll have another stack waiting for you, when
you return from VT... :)

Not nearly so many.

True, it's a much shorter trip... ;)

About half the length of the first one. We're going to stay up in NY
after the picnic to try to visit family so that trip will probably end
up about the same length also.

Adds up to a lot of traveling... :)

Since we do VBS outside, we won't have to worry about making
a mess. If it rains, we have to meet inside, I'll have to
re-juggle the crafts so as not to make a mess.

Hopefully it will be good weather all week....

So far, in 3 years, we've had only one rain relocation. Last year the
rain held off until we just finished packing up the van on the last
day.

That was good timing.... ;)

... I haven't lost my mind...it's backed-up somewhere!

Finding that somewhere is the challenge tho. (G)

Yes, but we didn't want a super long, doing both VT and picnic in one
trip set up like we did a few years ago. One long trip this summer is
enough.

hit the road back to WF.

Oneonta that year.

Raleigh got up to 98 yesterday, don't know what it was (but a bit
cooler) in WF. Had a cold front/rain come thru last night so today is
more comfortable. Weather probably won't be back down to the mid 80s for
normal highs for a few more weeks yet.

Stopped for supper in Saratoga Springs while it was pouring down good

on the road, hit rain again a few minutes later.
