What we did today!

Today we come home. First at the hotel we finished packing, ate breakfast and loaded up the car. We then went to Sonic (which was cool) and got some dessert drinks. My dad tried to go into the Employee Entrance of the building (that was funny). Then we went to a coffee shop and got some coffee and mugs for the ride home. Once home (at like 1:45 p.m.) we unloaded the car, got some chineese food for dinner and watched a movie. Now me and my mom are chilling and watching T.V.

Patterson

Today we went to Patterson. It was a beautiful day to tour the complex. Our tour guides name was Sheryl, she worked in the grounds matinence department. She was very nice. She has been in Bethel for a year and a half now with her husband. I loved seeing the laundry department (that is where I want to work when I go to Bethel).  I want to iron clothes there. If I don't make it to the laundry department I would also love to work in the food service department.
