Whew.... I found the bus!

Ok, so as most of you know I went to the Free to Succeed Tour in Orlando Thursday… well it turns out DJ and his team decided to hide little characters in each city they did a show in and post them online. Well the first one to find the character wins $500.00 Showit Bucks and I found it! They hid the bus in Orlando last night and I’ve been checking his blog (http://opensourcephoto.blogspot.com) constantly waiting for him to post it. Well, around 2:30 am this morning I decided to check it one last time before going to bed and it turns out they posted the video an hour earlier! So I jumped into my car and decided to drive down to Orlando, which by the way is an hour and a half away, and go find it. The video hey posted was dark but I knew exactly where they hid the bus so I was hoping I was going to be the first one to find it.


As I made it to the parking lot around 5:30 am I went to the fence surrounding the pool and of course it was still locked so I tried to scale the fence like the boys did in their video. I guess I kinda forgot how tall they were compared to me and I quickly realized, once on top of the fence, how short I was as I fell into the bushes and scrapped my leg. Yeah… that was fun. Then I walked up the stairs, over the chain rope and up the snake to the top…. And there it was waiting for me the bus! Thank you Lord for helping me find it I couldn't have done it with out you!






So yeah it was dark and I was a little out of breath from scaling the wall but here's the video of me finding the bus... :)






It's kinda dark so it's not a good shot but here's the other video I made after sucessfully getting back over the fence, yeah I had to fell into the bushes again that time too! :)






So there it is, I found it and even though I didn't get any sleep, drove 3 hours there and back, scrapped up my leg twice and got lost trying to drive home it was worth it! Thank you DJ! I am so excited to start using the Showit bucks... now what I do from here?
