Road Trip to Huntsville, Alabama
Road Trip to Huntsville, Alabama.
Sit right back and listen to my tale,
My Rainbow tale of a weekend adventure.
A road trip to Alabama with ten girls
And three adults to visit an assembly in Huntsville.
We left on March 6 at 6:30 pm.
Twelve traveled to Staunton to pick up a girl.
All through the night we drove south,
With our first stop, breakfast at a Waffle House.
Arriving at the lodge at 9:30 am,
It is the first and oldest lodge in Alabama.
Warmly greeted and shown around.
We sit together in the beautiful assembly room.
The ritual opening completed
Zoey introduced as Grand Editor and Representative.
Batu, M’Balu and Zoe as Grand Reps
Along with our own Grand Flag Bear, Lillian.
Not to be left out as visiting Rainbow,
Our Audrey, Dionna, Ella, Hannah and JoElla
Were all introduced and given a sister welcome.
Business completed finally to lunch.
After a lunch with our new sisters,
Off to the Space and Rocket Center we went.
There we meet an old friend,
Who has two Rainbow age girls and a son.
We embraced our new friends,
Had a great time as we explored the center.
Such fun and love did we show.
That now one wants to be a Rainbow Sister!
A few did some rock climbing.
While others rode in a rocket simulator.
We walked a model space station,
Coming upon Dottie Metcalf-Lindenburger’s picture.
Finally, to the hotel, we went.
Meeting family and friends to have dinner.
All the restaurants were busy,
At last found one, we just had to eat in shifts.
Back to the hotel and a swim.
Finding our beds, relaxing and falling asleep
Up early and in the van
We made it home that Sunday evening.
The success of the weekend
Is noted in the laughter, smiles and
The cries “When is the next trip?”
As the adults go….”Rest, I need Rest.”
