Theresa's travels to the 5th annual AMC convention!
Stephanie, Stasea and I left on Sat. July 31st, it started off great, Krispy Kreme donuts, Mountain dew and listening to Rob Thomas! The beginning of an awesome trip!
We traveled to Chattanooga TN where we stopped and went thru a cave to see Ruby falls, how beautiful...

On Saturday morning, Luca "Lazylegz" Patuelli walked one kilometer with no crutches or braces with our kids!
His motivational slogan is NO EXCUSES NO LIMITS!
He has inspired so many of our AMC kids to walk, I'm not sure if he will ever understand the impact he has on so many peoples lives, you are a true inspiration Luca!

After leaving the Grand Floridian, Stephanie, Stasea, Katie and I headed to St Augustine Florida to go to the ocean! We pulled into the city and immediately went to the St Augustine lighthouse! The girls all decided I needed to go to the top! Mind you I have a HUGE fear of "see through" stairs! let alone spiral and 219 of them! The girls kept saying NO EXCUSES NO LIMITS to me, so UP I WENT! It was a challenge but I DID IT!!
the ocean was everything I expected and more! It was the 1st time I REALLY went in the ocean and spent a lot of time there. (few years back I went to Panama City beach, but it was March and way cold! so I never went in or really spent a lot of time just being on the beach)
We spend the day playing in the ocean and building sand castles! It was awesome! We spent that evening exploring the old city with our own "Ghost tour" we bought a book and did it ourselves! It was great! The next morning we got up and watched the sunrise.........there are no words to explain the beauty! I ended that day with the sunset on the Smoky Mountains, how beautiful! This was a trip to remember that's for sure!
