Build the bus
 
 
Sure, we drove home, straight through the night from two hours south of Atlanta, but we still got lots done on the bus Sunday AND Monday. On Monday, we were joined by Jimmy “Vegas” Tanner, and his parents, and Maggie Robinson. Also, Kevin drove BACK up from Florida for the week. Anyone bored NEXT week? :)
