Sunburns + Jellyfish: 0
Andy: 1



So, I went to Florida with my church's youth group for summer youth camp.  It was great.  We met another church down there at Laguna Beach (west of Panama City) for a week of worship and relaxation.  I got to play in the Gulf of Mexico for a significant amount of time, and received no sunburns nor jellyfish stings.  Nor sharkbites for that matter.  I sorta surfed (I stayed on the board for 2 whole seconds), and I got to hang out with the kids and get to know them.  On the way back home, we went through Atlanta to eat at Pappasito's, a fantastic tex-mex restaurant with live mexican music.  It was great.

Atlanta Traffic: 2
Surfboards: 0

As we approached Atlanta, where the interstate highway went from the normal four lanes to six lanes, the surfboards (belonging to Smedly and Janet) fell off the trailer and were subsequently destroyed by traffic.  It was sad.  So we pulled over and Smed jumped out of the van to retrieve them.  I wasn't too far behind.  Janet and Rolando came after me as well.  One board got knocked to the median and Smed ran out and got it.  The other board was broken in half and I was able to get it out of the highway.  Thankfully, no one got hurt, and there were no car accidents.  Running across a freeway dodging Atlanta traffic is not fun, but God was gracious to protect us.
