6:00 a.m. came quickly. Left Ripley, drove to Bruceton Mills to be present at the dedication and ribbon-cutting of the Big Bear Lake Campground Waterpark. The dedication of the volunteers and board members' efforts to put together a $2.1 million dollar investment into their camp was again an example of the best of West Virginia. I had my first personal papparazzi, age 10, who helped me explore the park.

Drove to Pittsburgh to hook back up with Miss WV 2008 Kayla Lynam at her apartment. There we laughed and joked, finally got another meal, and took a nap. Spent the evening at the Miss Pennsylvania pageant with Kayla and Barb Brunetti, where we saw {ck} crowned. I am looking forward to getting to know her at Miss America. One of the most interesting things was that the talent at their pageant was absolutely phenomenal!
