Life is full of beauty. Notice it. Notice the bumble bee, the small child, and the smiling faces. Smell the rain, and feel the wind. Live your life to the fullest potential, and fight for your dreams. ~Ashley Smith

Urban Dare
I participated in my own mini Great Race! Everyone should check out the website (urbandare.com) and try it when it is in your city. Team Optimist did not win, but we had a blast… here are some samples of our clues: 1.This Georgian put his John Hancock on the Declaration of Independence. Get your picture with the building at Georgia Tech that bears his name.
2. Get your picture with the statue Emerging by Mark Smith.
3. Go to the park with the statue of Baron Pierre de Coubertin and get your picture with the brick that says Amanda Snyder God Bless All.
4. This animal travels the farthest of any land-based mammal. The North America one can travel as much as 5,000 kilometers a year. Go to the coffee shop of this name near Piedmont Park for your trivia dare.
Bonus. Get your picture with someone wearing a Varsity hat.
….There were 13 clues in all, some just involved a picture and others “dares.” Due to the weather, however, some of the dares were replaced with only pictures. The rules included walking/running and public transportation (bus and train only). It took me and P about 4 hours to finish – not first but not last! I was exhausted when we were done, but I would definitely do it again!

Looks like you had an interesting adventure. Glad to see you have some time to enjoy yourself. Think you often. Love Gt Gma
did ya get to eat at the Varsity too? :) wow. i wondered how it went. too bad about the weather, but what a neat idea and it does sound like a good time, even in the rain. what were some of the dares?
neat! i've seen people running around madly doing this kind of thing (not sure where or when anymore, my brain is too old) - sounds pretty fun.
mom said you have some trips coming up, looking forward to hearing about those, too!
It sounds a bit like the Amazing Race and looks like a great time. Is this part of the outdoor club you're a part of?
Ok, so now that school is over you are filling your time with climbing walls, crawling down in caves and now having kind of odd versions of the amazing race. What is next? What is that called when you jump off the side of a building with a shoot? Base jumping? Ok I vote that next so we can continue to live vicariously through you ;)
It's been a month since your last words of wisdom Sunshine............
