On 7/13-7/15, our church went to our very first road trip together (or more like a getaway retreat). We thought about several places in California that we can go in 2-3 days (thought about San Francisco for a while..) and we ended up choosing to go to Big Bear to rent a cabin and just relaaaaaax. It was relatively short drive and we decided to go without any planning (just enough food to eat for 3 days).
Well, it was a relaxing time. Nothing much to do without snow to ski on. There is fishing and water sports to do, but too expensive for our budget. So, for three days, we cooked, ate, watched movies using our portable projector, and ate some more. And, yes, some of us did get one hiking into our busy schedule! Actually, hiking was very nice. Nature, fresh air, sounds of tree, and God...
I believe we learned more things about each other during this getaway together. Most of us like to relax and chill out. Our life in the city is usually very hectic. However we also learned that we want to do a little more planning next time and budget better. But most of all, for me, it was simply another time for our group to learn how to become a family of God together. Oh yes, we also know that we all like Food Network channel!
