Blackbeard’s Backyard
Yea, that's where I spent my Spring Break — Blackbeard's Backyard. Yes, I'm talking about Blackbeard the Pirate a.k.a. Edward Teach. His hideout was very close to where I spent all of last week.
If you didn't know, I was one of the adult leaders on one of T119′s Sea Base crews. They had three overall (I think) — Two did the Keys Adventure (my crew) and one was on the Out Island Adventure. The Out Island adventure is where you spend all week on Munson Island i.e. not my idea of a good time, really. The Keys Adventure is where you spend some time sailing, deep sea fishing, snorkeling, on a beach, visiting some of the local nature preserves, in Key West and on Munson Island.

I will tell you that it was possibly one of the best weeks I've ever had. I got to know the kids on the trip extremely well and was able to see them overcome some of their fears/reservations about certain activities. All of them tried something completely new at some point during the week.
Overall it was a relaxing and fun week. I was excited to leave for the trip, couldn't wait to get home to see everyone, and now I miss it.
That's all I've got for the basic summary of the week. Remember if you want the in-depth day by day description, check out the continue reading link.
