Ball State University-Muncie, IN

We spent 3 days on the road, getting to Muncie. We arrived here Thursday, and had dinner with Jess and her friends, including her boyfriend, who we met for the first time. Friday, after her last class, we had lunch and she came back to the RV with us for the day. She can’t spend the night with us, since she is on duty this weekend (she has a Resident Hall Assistant position). We did some errands and had dinner at the campground. Saturday we drove down to Indianapolis and had lunch at the Cheesecake Factory, with her boyfriend and his parents. They seem like very nice people. Sunday morning was “Watermelon Bust” a fundraising event held by one of the fraternities. There were many teams that competed at games like tug of war and an obstacle course/relay race. Jess and her sorority sisters had 3 teams competing. They didn’t win, but had fun anyway! The weather was REALLY cold when the sun wasn’t out. After all the events, We took Jess, her boyfriend David, and her friend Ashley, back to the RV for a homecooked meal. They all had a 7 pm staff meeting, so we had to bring them back to the dorm early. It was so great seeing Jess and meeting her friends. Its hard to say goodbye- the only thing that makes it easier is that we’ll see her in a month. Today we are on the road, driving 260 miles to Mammoth Caves National Park in KY. We’ll stop at the birthplace of Abraham Lincoln on the way.
