Early Morning Travels

We left Taylor at 3 am this morning to catch our 6:30 flight. It was a late night/early morning, but a lot of us just ended staying up. Here's a picture of the group minus John and Kathy, our professors.

Top row left to right: Ryan K., Brad, Josh. Middle row: Me, Treat, Jonathan. Front row: Ryan G., Alex, Brent, and Rikki.

We were all pretty tired as we traveled to the airport and thankfully we had no real issues boarding the plane. Other than a slight name mix up and a couple pulled aside at security for additional security measures. Almost all of us slept some portion of the trip either to Denver, to Salt Lake City, or both. Here's a picture on the way to Denver outside the plane.


We had a very short layover in Denver, but it was so beautiful to see the sunrise and the mountains combined. Unfortunately, at by the end of the plane ride to Denver, Kathy started having bad motion sickness. Our flight to Salt Lake City was quite a bit shorter than the one to Denver and it was mostly over mountains, which was beautiful. The plane wasn't full at all and a lot of the team had a row all to themselves. After we landed in Salt Lake City, we took our time getting out of the airport as Kathy didn't have much energy.

We made our way to Park City and stopped for lunch at Ruby Tuesday's. They had delicious fries and definitely filled us up quickly. Our condo wasn't going to be ready for a few hours so we had some time to kill. We stopped at the church where we will be having our morning discussions with Fuller Theological Seminary and Biola University. We crashed there for at least an hour and a half, probably more though. My time has been slightly off with the time change. After we all crashed on the comfy chairs the church had, a group of eight went to go see their first film. Or a collection of short films rather. That left Jonathan, Alex, Kathy, and I to do the grocery shopping. We made dinner and then played some intense games of Catch Phrase and Mad Gab. A couple of the guys are going to wait list the movie High School tonight. The four of us are going to watch the Short Programs tomorrow as well as a few student films. More to come on that tomorrow. Overall, it was a really long day with beautiful mountains and snow. I was a little bummed not to see anything today, but tomorrow will be our first official day at Sundance with watching films, so I'm excited
