The team had its last full day in Georgia today; and a great day it was. The 90 miles to Athens was bisected by a friendship visit at Camp Twin Lakes. I can honestly say that FV was the most fun I've had all summer. The camp itself is like any other summer; it has a pool, lake, archery, nature walk, tennis courts, arts, etc. It's also a place where kids with disabilities can come and be themselves and have a blast for a week: somewhere they don't have to explain why they may be a little bit different. Counselors toured us around the camp, and then we had lunch in the dining hall where we got to play with some of the campers and goof around and do camp things such as sing and dance and be goofy. I would love being a counselor there. No one wanted to leave when it came time to head to Athens. Forty miles later, we arrived at the Holiday Inn (we've been very fortunate to have such sensors) and cleaned up for dinner at the UGA Pi Kapp house with a special guest, Darius. If you are unfamiliar with Darius, I suggest you view the movie "Darius Goes West," or check out my post from Portales, NM. He's an absolute stud.
After dinner, some of the of-age guys went out, but a few friends and myself went to a local legendary hot dog joint called The Varsity. It wasn't too shabby. South Carolina tomorrow! Here's a couple pics of the camp.
