The Great Trip -- Pt 1.5 (the pitstop)

Well for the next leg of our trip we were going to stay with our friend Jose in Jackson Mississippi. We got to know Jose at daily mass (while he lived in Maryland) and through the Cursillo movement.
Mullu Mom realize that halfway between us and his house was Birmingham Alabama. So whats so special in Birmingham you ask? Why the world headquarters of ETWN that's what!!

This is what greets you as you get there

G-MAC enjoyed the stained glass windows of outside chapel

I love Religious with a sense of humor!

We tried to time our arrival to make it in time for the noon mass at Our Lady of Angels chapel. We actually managed to get there early so we spent a little time in the gift shop.

The kids thought that these sports rosarys were really cool

we thought about getting this for the car since Inch will start driving this year

The chapel was BEAUTIFUL. I thought that it was a little funny that this little chapel had a bunch of servo controlled cameras. We were told that the 7 AM service gets televised and the noon mass is mainly to allow the employees there to go to daily mass.

The whole family really like this sign outside of the chapel

This picture does not do the chapel justice. It is truely breathtaking
