Summer Eleven has officially begun
Okay so I know This summer actually began on June 15th but I figured I'd post now and tell you how amazing the Beach was. Okay, so I left for the beach Saturday night/Sunday morning, however you wanna look at it with my friend. It was like 1 in the morning but we were too excited to get there to sleep so we just decided to leave. Haha. Well, anyway, we get there at like 5:30 that morning and went to the beach and my friend got a few pictures of the sunrise over the ocean. Talk about a beautiful moment indeed. Then we went and got breakfast. Then we went to find my friend's house that we were staying at for the week and had the "bright" idea to park the car there and go for another walk towards the beach and before we knew it we had walked the entire South Beach Shore and still had to walk the mile back to the car. I thought we were gonna die of thirst or have a heat stroke. Need I remind you we were locked out of the house this whole time, that is why we decided to walk. We get back and it's only like 10:30 at this time. Josh isn't due home from work til after 3 so me and Johnathan (the friend) fell asleep on the porch since we didn't know what else to do. Not to mention we were exhausted from having no sleep in like 24 hours. Well that's enough about our first day, let me tell you about the rest of the week. My luck spirls from good to bad all week and it passes on to Johnathan by the end of it. Lol.
Monday- went great. Just some beach and normal hang out stuff pretty much. I can't remember if that was the day we went swimming in the ocean or not.
Tuesday- We went to Busch Gardens for the day. We rode all the Coasters there... Griffon- 9 times, Alpengiest- 2 times, Loch Ness- 2 times I think, Apollo's Chariot- 3-4 times. This was my bad luck day one because some bird found it to be a good thing to poop on me. It was so gross. I didn't even know it until Johnathan pointed it out while in line at the Apollo's chariot.
Wednesday- Bad luck number two for me. We got up and decided to walk the strip that morning and eat at our favorite breakfast restraunt and while we were walking, another darn bird decided to poop on my hand. I was so pissed by that point.
Thursday- Our final day there. :( For lunch we decided to go to this amazing pizza place called Dough Boys. It was the best pizza I think I've ever had other than this place Salem use to have before it got replaced by our Lowes. That night we decided to leave and head home. We sat through all the tunnel traffic and made it through the tunnel at like 11:30 roughly. We sat in the traffic for like an hour btdubs. Then bad luck struck again but this time not on me and it wasn't a bird. A little e-light came on in the car and had us a little worried. We made it to Williamsburg when the radio started going out and the headlights faded in and out, it got really freaky. We pulled over and called his mom to find out that we would have to sit there until someone could come get us and see what exactly happened. So we were sitting in a parking lot until 5:30 Friday morning. He passed out in the car and I stayed up mostly. I fell asleep but not in a deep sleep.
So that was my Senior Beach Week in a nutshell. I left out some of the stuff but I either can't remember the day or it happened everyday, like tickle wars... which I lost each time. Lol. But that's what happens when you're more ticklish then the other person. :)
Then on Saturday the 25th Me, mom, little brother, Dana, Chelsea and Thomas and one of Chelsea's friends went to Busch Gardens. This time I didn't get hit by a single bird poop. :) After that we headed back to the beach, me, mom, and the little brother. I wasn't too thrilled about it but I put a smile on and pretended. I mean I was excited to be with my mom and brother cause I missed them something terrible the previous week, but I would have been just as happy being with them at home. During the days I was there I went to Motor World and got a mani/pedi. That's the stuff I did that I didn't do the week before. The ocean got old real quick but I enjoyed getting pictures of my brother trying to take on the waves. We got to come home four days early cause I was home sick and my mom and brother missed our dog. Lol. I did too but I was mostly missing the mountains and my dad, and family and my friends.
Then Friday which was July 1st I went to the fair and hung out with Johnathan before so I could get my car back. At the fair, it started out as me and Johnathan and we rode several things since there wasn't any lines and then we ran into Kate and her new boyfriend, Eric. Then we went around and rode the Zipper and Kate talked me into riding the dang Super Shot which is the drop tower that I hate with a passion. I apparently was hysterical cause I screamed from the top until after we stopped. That is the only ride I close my eyes on when I fall down. Lol. Then we ran into Christina Stinson, and Deja Browner and had a whole group by this point and started riding more things. That night was probably one of the best nights I've had lately. I'm sure I don't have to explain myself on mostly why. On Saturday I went to see the fireworks at the lake again and got some amazing pictures of the fireworks over the lake. I'll add a few to this post when I get back home and get to my camera. I also listened to the Worx play music before. Then Sunday, I went to the Moose Lodge and hung out with my dad and grandma. Not to mention my sister and brother was there. My step mom went on the lake with the other family members and canoed and Kayaked. Then we went to Bdubs for some wings and came home and had S'mores for dessert. Yum. :) Then today, which is the Forth of July celebration, I get to work down at Riversedge in Downtown Roanoke selling food and Lemonades and drinks and of course watch fireworks, I hope. I hope some friends come to watch them and come see me. I don't wanna spend my Forth of July without my closest friends. I mean I do get to work with one of them... Kate, my twinn as I will probably call her from here on out in any of my posts. As it is I'm missing out on going to Buchanan with my family as they go to the fair up there. :(
Well, that's all for now... maybe I should post more often so it doesn't end up this long every time. Haha.
Love,
Mel
