Lets Beat the Rain!

10a.m. and we are ready to go letterboxing! Off to Hillard we go! The rain can't stop us!
Our first stop, First Responders Park, a park dedicated to the first responders during 9/11. There weren't any boxes actually hidden here, but it was the beginning point of quiet a few boxes. It was a very interesting little park and it had pieces from the twin towers there. From the park, we were headed to Old Bag of Nails. We walked over there and found it wasn't open till 11a.m. With over 30 mins. to kill, we decided to go to the next box. It was located at a police/fire department. We went in to the desk and no one was there. We waited around and watched this women walk from one room to another and back again. I started looking around the desk and couldn't really find the box. After about 15 mins. I sat down on the couch next to Mother Hen.
 From the couch near the desk, you could see everything on the desk. At the other end was the box. No one came. I just sat there looking at the box. Finally the lady who was walking back to and from the doors came over and helped us. She didn't even know what the letterbox was. So I explained it to her and she told us that no one works at the front desk(weird...). When we began to stamp in, it began to rain. Great. We knew it was going to rain at some point, we were just glad we were inside when it started. I also found out that I left our "Couple's Creed" stamp at home. I had to glue it to a piece of wood because of how soft the material was that it is carved in.
When it stopped raining we were off to Old Bag of Nails. We had to get the box from the bar so we sat there while we stamped in. It was a bit weird sitting there. Never sat at an actual bar since I'm under age, but we stamped in and were out in a couple of minutes.
From there we went to Wesley Chapel Cemetery to save Princess Peach from Bowser. Was a nice cemetery and was much larger than we thought it was. We didn't run into any more rain but everything was wet. We couldn't sit in the grass so we had to juggle everything while stamping our logbooks. At one point we were under a tree and it started dripping on my logbook. I freaked out. I didn't want my logbook wet. I also freaked out when Tyrus stamped his thumb print into my book back in June. It took up space in my book but I got over it. The box series was nice but the stamps were huge. After that we had time for one last box. Kittylove. It was a very cute box and well done.

So today we are giving the Llama Award to First Responders by B Spaniels and KittyLove by HappyTrails and Nitrocat.
