daytona, nationals and SUNSHINE!!

well got back in from daytona last night around midnight. i had tons of fun with my second family. it was a great break from school that was much needed and now i can refocus on the good things in life. i got a major tan which i intended on getting even though i really didn't need it. did some shopping and of course waking up to the ocean breeze and getting to swim a lot. but the main reason was to go drill team nationals. its been part of Sgt. masons five year plan since hes been at magnet. we made there and even though unarmed and armed didnt place we still brought some hardware home. armed color guard placed fourth and my friend natressa placed third in the nation for the best drilled cadet out of 1300 cadets of all branches. all in all it was a good trip. im praying that we can go again next year and have the opportunity to compete again and actually do some serious damage. while i was there i of course took plenty of pics of the gorgeous scenery that isn't an eyesore like shreveport.
