Finish line.......ocean

We did it! After 2,600 miles, four pairs of shoes and a few layers of skin off the shoulders we did it. The last 20 miles was fun, the rain let up for just enough time to finish the trip. Now we start driving home to camp in your front yard! ............. Yes I'm talking to you right now,I'm on my way....................................... seriously.

National !!!!!!

We recently attended the National Boys & Girls conference in Atlanta, Georgia. Usher was there, via video feed, and told us his confessions...
not really. But he was inducted into the hall of fame and I thought that was pretty cool because I used to always listen to his confessions album while skateboarding.
The conference had inspiring speakers and some dynamic performances. The older generation of the Boys & Girls club members have so much wisdom and love to share and the cheesecake was amazing.
Before the conference we went to the Holyfield Boys & Girls club in Atlanta. It never ceases to amaze us how much energy the kids have. We interviewed one of the staff members and he told us a little more about the struggles and successes of the kids and the club.

pop quiz

The Clubs have been so much fun, until the kids began to ask me questions I did not know the answer too.............. I wish i payed better attention in Geometry.

fancy food

We finished skating and decided to have some gourmet food in the most elegant campsite in Alabama. For some reason my tuxedo was left at the dry cleaners so i wore my favorite sweater. The food was great but I'm not crazy about the cleanliness of the cook.

(Ryan didn't make it that far...)

now for some moves from the Meridian, Mississippi kids....

I cant stop writing blogs

We caught Mike trying to skate to the waffle house during a visit at the Meridian Boys & Girls club. I quickly set the camera to tazer mode and brought him down so the kids could ride his board. He recovered 10 minutes later, for some reason he refers to himself as sid now. Oh well, the kids really seem to love this guy.

Is this awesome or AWESOME?!?!

Pretty much the coolest vehicle/trailer set we've seen the entire trip.
