Unexpected Spring Break!

A couple weeks before the area high schools were to go on Spring Break I received a call from the Campus Life director of my old high school. I was completely baffled at first as to why he would need to call me, but I'm sure glad he did. He asked if I would help chaperone the Campus Life Spring Break trip to Florida. I was in! (well of course after checking with Greg first) It was an amazing trip - not the best weather, but very eye-opening and refreshing. I actually didn't snap as many shots as I would have liked to, but here are a few.


This was our mode of transportation there and back.
If only this were a scratch and sniff picture :) All the kids sign the bus whenever they take a trip in it - it was literally covered - ceiling, sides, and seats.




R.I.P Brown Bus - a.k.a "The Turd"
On our way home from spring break we ran into some bus trouble - literally going like 15-20 mph down a 70 mph highway. Yeah I know! Dangerous! But we made it to a gas station safely, split up onto 4 other buses traveling with us and ditched the brown bus in Nashville, TN. We were all sad to see it go :( We made it home safely - just took a few more hours than expected.


These were some of the condos at the place we stayed in Destin, FL. It's an amazing place called Sandpiper Cove - right along the beach!




I was put in charge of living with 8 amazing young women.
Thanks for being so GREAT girls!





A shot of our group filming their video for that night's evening news cast. (Ours was by far the best! - nice job guys)



And finally a few shots taken at the near by bay just down the way from our condos.




Tony thanks again for asking me to be apart of this trip.
Although out of my comfort zone, I loved every minute! It was an amazing experience!

Your trip looked amazing! You were really close to where my sister Marianne is going to be living. :) I'm a little jealous, now.

Yeah it was pretty great! Weather wasn't quite as great though. So where is it in Florida your sister will be living?
