Wednesday, July 9, 6:49 a.m.: “We are here! So great! They even picked us up at the airport at 7:30 a.m.! Our plane was actually delayed and we barely made it out before the San Diego airport’s 11:30 p.m. curfew. We left the runway at 11:28 p.m. I have never been in a plane that taxied so fast.”

7:46 a.m. “The guys like the college dining hall/student center. I don’t know where they get the energy. I had to pull them away from the pool table. We are not going to Valley Forge (poor Gabe got outvoted) but staying here and resting til activities begin this afternoon. Thanks all for everything!”

10:23 a.m. “Off to officially register. Gabe is playing pool with some girls from Hawaii and Ben and Max are wowing others with their piano and singing skills. Peace and cheers!”
