Panama City, Florida

Out trip to Florida was a great one! I had never been to a Florida beach before, so this experience was very special to me since I got to be with Bryan and Scarlett. Let me explain that this was not a family vacation...it was our youth church camp trip! We traveled on a charter bus with 75 teens!!! The trip was 12 hours long! Scarlett did amazing on the bus, she enjoyed watching movies with the youth, watching and playing with iphones, and playing with her friends Noah, Asher, Alex, and baby Ashton!
We left on Sunday at 10pm and drove through the night. In the morning we had a flat tire (on a charter bus!) that left us hanging out at a McDonalds for over 3 hours! After that little setback we were on the road again- eager to reach our sunny destination. We got to the retreat center and headed straight for the white sandy beach!
I witnessed not only beautiful scenery, but also lives being transformed. Our youth had an amazing revival and it was beautiful to see. Here are some pictures I got while we were there...I am already anxious to visit again!
