Spring Break is one of my favorite breaks. If not my favorite, definitely top five. The well-needed break comes just before I am burned out of school. The break has the best weather in my opinion, not too hot and not too cold. This break was no exception, except for the monsoon we drove back in on Friday. My week was full of rest and relaxation. My friends and I took a trip to Collier-Seminole State Park near Naples for a week of camping. I grew up camping in the mountains and parks of Colorado, so this was somewhat of a new experience, however just as enjoyable. We did so many enjoyable activities like a nature walk, canoeing, campfire stories, smores, Mandy’s camp concoction (which was delicious) , Catch Phrase, Hoopla, Jet Ski around Marco Island, and barely knowing the time. If all of these things are not good enough, doing it with five other amazing people made it that much sweeter. The things I did not enjoy were the vampire-mosquitoes that could not resist my B+ blood, and the incomplete Sudoku puzzles that tempted me for days. The old people at the campsite were so nice too. It seemed to be the ideal place to read Joel to the trees again, however that did not happen. But if I were to read Joel aloud again, that place would be ideal. It was quiet, and peaceful. Overall, this break was not the typical Spring Break for most college students around the country, but that is ok, because I had an amazing time, and did not need drugs, or alcohol to do it. I think it would have been cool to go to places like Daytona or Panama City, and minister to other college students who have not heard the truth. I think that is my goal for next year.
Wow Andy, it seems like you had a lot of fun over spring break!!! I wish I could go camping, it seems like so much fun, I've only been once and it was a long time ago at a father daughter retreat through my church! But the mosquitoes sound like a pain and is not something that I would look forward to being around but everything else sounded like sooo much!! I am happy that you got to have a great break, I went to the forum and got to dance for Joyce Meyer, it was a lot of fun!!! I wish you would have read the book of Joel, that would have been a great experience, too bad you didn't. I hope next year, you get to accomplish your goal, you are an amazing man of God!!
ReplyDeleteWOW. You're Spring Break sounds like it was amazing! Sudokus and catch phrase are great great fun. I unfortunately had not very great weather this Spring Break so I was not as blessed as you. And I live in Panama City, so if you plan on going there (which I definitely think you should!) you should check the weather first hahaa
ReplyDeleteBut I'm glad you had a blast!
Andy I am glad that you had an amazing break. I think that anytime off can be enjoyable as long as you have the right people there. It doesn't matter what you do, but rather who you do it with. Hope you got enough rest to help you finish off this semester strong.
ReplyDeleteI may or may not be jealous of your spring break...and AMEN to it coming just at the right time! I might have lost it if I would have had to wait any longer
ReplyDeleteps. that "monsoon" was crazy!
Camping is definitely a lot of fun, but I dont know if I could have lasted out there for 5 days. I think those mosquitoes would have driven me crazy but it sounds like it was a lot of fun, it was a good break to rest.
ReplyDeleteOz, you always know how to string a phrase. I can always count on your blog as a never ending source of enjoyment. Your spring break sounds fantastic. For some reason, the whole time i was reading your blog i was visualizing the three ninjas movies. Is it weird that i associate you with the three ninjas?
