Vacation!

Jul 24, 2005 10:20

We just got back from Bethany Beach... It was great. I love the kind of vacation where you're more tired when you come back than when you left ^^

Random highlights of the trip:
Saturday:
  • Got the car packed up while still feeling sick. Not much excitement here.
Sunday:
  • On the road!
  • Stopped at a Shoney's for lunch. My nose was still stuffed up, so I couldn't taste the food I'd ordered (breakfast buffet). Which is probably a good thing, it wasn't too good (from what I could taste).
  • Arrived at Bethany! (After some confusion and a lot of phone calls because we were late) Picked up the key, got slightly lost in the hotel (810? no, that's 801...)
  • Went out to dinner to a place called Isabella's. If you like enough pepper to make a horse a little seasick, go there. If not (and we don't) don't.
  • Took a walk on the beach, went to sleep.
Monday:
  • Can't really remember. Regular beach-y stuff.
Tuesday:
  • SAILING! My mum went with us, and it was my first time on a catamaran. It handles really weird (especially if you're used to sailing a small boat with a hull and one rudder!) The winds were pretty calm (I'd say about 5 mph) and it was a good day to just get used to the boat.
  • More beach-y stuff.
Wednesday:
  • SAILING! (This time in the afternoon with 10 mph winds) It was great. My mum didn't go with us, she did beach-y stuff at the beach. (erm that was a little redundant but hey who cares)
  • More beach-y stuff.
  • Dinner! At this great greek place with awesome lamb ^^
Thursday:
  • SAILING! 15 mph winds!!!!!!! w00t! One of the best sails I've ever had. Almost collided with a pontoon boat that wouldn't get out of our way haha. Definitly changed my mind about catamarans. (We were sailing on the Little Assawoman bay in case you're curious)
  • Rented a kayak, kayaked around the Little Assawoman bay for about a half hour. We decided we weren't in good enough shape to kayak in the ocean (like we originally wanted to).
  • More beach-y stuff.
  • Same greek restaurant. Haha.
Friday:
  • No sailing =( The winds weren't strong enough, probably not even 5-10.
  • Beach-y stuff!
  • Became quite a tan moogle.
Saturday:
  • Drove home. Errr, rather, sat in traffic for quite a while then drove home.
And that would be that. All in all, a great time ^_^
