Atlanta, GA


Home sweet home! While in Atlanta, I got to visit the fam, lot's of friends, and host an event at Turner Field. Unfortunately I was unable to go to the game because we had to set up and tear down the stage in one day. It was a good time to relax, recharge, and re-unite with loved ones. I will miss my family and friends when I move overseas, or out west in December, but I know the Lord will provide new ones, and hope to stay in touch with my currents as friendships have no distance boudaries.

Austin, TX


Home to the University of Texas, and over 47,000 bats. The video can be viewed by clicking here. The bats come out from under the bridge at sun down ever night, and it is an amazing site to behold. Just when you think that there could be no more bat's living under the bridge, thousands and thousands more come out and head south to feast on on insects all night.

Jacksonville, FL


We didn't get to stay in Jacksonville very long, because we opted to go to New Orleans, and Panama City on the way to Jacksonville. New Orleans was strange to see after Katrina and Rita. I had been there before the hurricanes, and it was terrible to see the devastation and ghost town looking neighborhoods surrounding the city. The French Quarter looked exactly as it had been before, ands was by far in the best shape. After New Orleans we went to PC, and relaxed for a couple days on the beach. Next it was time to head to Jacksonville, FL for the Kingfish tournament. Jacksonville seems like a great city. I was able to see My Uncle Steve and his family, and had a good time at the Tournament event over all.

Charlotte, NC


Charlotte Is a very beautiful clean, and relatively young city. I really enjoyed visiting, and would not mind living there if the snow skiing was better. I got to do the giant swing drop ride at Carowinds theme park, which is similar to Six Flags. It was so fun, and makes me want to go ski diving ASAP. I got to visit my friend Kight and see his really cool loft apartment right next to his office. It was a lot of fun, and I look forward to possibly going back to visit in the future.

Tampa, FL


We had an event in front of the Florida Aquarium which was fun because we got to go into the Aquarium for free and were able to have their kitchen clean our dishes, a process that usually takes about 3 hours and usually clogs up our hotel room tub. I got to spend a couple hours catching up with my Grandparents, and got a small tour of the Tampa and the beautiful campus of Tampa college. Florida is really hot!

Dollywood, TN


After a relaxing time in Knoxville, we headed out to the redneck tourism capital of the world -- Pigeon Forge, Tennessee. If you ever have a lot of money you want to waste, I highly recommend the innumerable attractions and useless gifts that can be found in Pigeon Forge. On another note, I was very impressed with the size and amount of unique shops and rides that Dollywood had to offer. The best coaster in the park was Thunderhead; a wooden coaster that wraps over and under itself thirty-one times! This was the most fun wooden roller coaster I have ever ridden, and would highly recommend it.
