I try to see the good in life, but good things in life are hard to find...
HELLOOOOO =]
I'm homeeeeee. ♥
Let me tell you bout my spring break =]
FRiDAY:
Left the house at 9? I think? I don't remember. But anyways, drove until 6:30ish PM, stopped in Chatanooga, Tennessee for dinner at Outback Steakhouse and spent the night at La Quinta Express.
SATURDAY:
Woke up at 8, drove until we got to our La Quinta hotel in Florida, which was about 4ish. It was bright and warm and sunny, so we checked in, unpacked, changed into summer clothes (YAY! =D) and went to CityWalk for dinner, which is like a connecting strip of awesome restuarants and shops between Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure. We went to Universal Studios for the Mardi Gras celebration and the Chris Daughtry concert (which was amazing by the way, even though we were surrounded by biligerant [sp?] drunks and were shoved way in the back of the crowd. He sang like an angellll.) I cried. =[ lol Leave me alone. We're getting married. AND HE PLAYS GUITAR, I didn't know that. So yeah...DEFINITELYYY getting married lol ;]
I was the only one screaming the words at the top of my lungs. lmao
After we waited like a fricken hour for our shuttle bus and then went back to the hotel. My mom and I hottubbed with some more drunk people who were like getting it on. It was an experience let me tell you. =P
SUNDAY:
Well, it was absolutely freezing that day, so we bundled up in jeans and hoodies and tried to catch the shuttle. Of course we all slept in a minute too long because we missed it, so we had to walk to another hotel and catch THEIR shuttle. lol. We went back to Universal Studios to watch all the theme shows...like Shrek in 4D (which was AWESOME,) Terminator 2 in 3D (scary as hellllll lmao,) Twister, Return of the Mummy which was an indoor coaster, Earthquake, and a million other ones that I can't even remember right now. lmao.
They have themed restuarants around the parks, and we ate at a lot of them throughout the trip.
We hitched a taxi home (MY FIRST TIME =D how exciting lol) and I spent the evening chatting.
MONDAY:
Well this was the day we were supposed to go to the other half of the park, Islands of Adventure. Of course it was freezing cold and raining (freezing being like 50-60's.) So after waking up early to get ready, I took a loooong ass nap. Was awakened to a phone call and chatted for what seemed like forever and a day. Then when the rain let up we went out to eat at some angus place, went shopping and I bought something fricken awesome for somebody (I couldn't resist, it was soooo coooool,) down to the park and rode the Incredible Hulk like three times, met some Michigan people, rode the Spiderman 3D ride twice because it was fricken amazing, and was about to go on the Jurassic Park ride when it downpoured. So I was wearing flip flops, and slipped alot because they have no damn traction. My pants were completely soaked. I had good pictures from this park but thanks to my shithole computer, THEY GOT DELETED. ='[
Let's not talk about it.
Anyway, we changed at the hotel and went out to eat at Tony Roma's, which was a really fancy Italian restuarant, because everything on CityWalk closed at like 10 for some reason. So we ate there, on a dirty table with dirty glasses and no silverware because our waiter was on crack. Many jokes. lol
Apparently my sensational conversational skills were requested, and I chatted the night away. ;] lol
TUESDAY:
Went back to Islands of Adventure early before we left the city for my aunt's house. We hit the Dueling Dragons ride, the Hulk again, and some other stuff.
Ate lunch at Emeril's on CityWalk, and let me tell you I've never felt like more of a queen in my LIFE. Their service is untouchable. Their food was amazing too.
We were in the van by noonish I think, and drove 3 hours to Juno Beach and checked in to our second hotel. We unpacked and it was kinda ugly out, still rainy and stuff. So we all took naps again. At least I was able to catch up on the sleep that I was DEFINITELY being deprived from at night... =P
It cleared up and got like instantly hot and dry (like 85) and I tanned by the pool with my mom for a while. We got deathly hot and went swimming in the pool, REFRESHINGGGG.
My aunt called around 4ish and we went to their house, getting lost many-a-time along the way. lol We hung out there till like 11-12ish, catching up on things, watched American Idol, ate good food and drank good drinks.
Chatted my way home, and chatted my way into breakfast the next morning. lmao
I heart free nights and weekends until 7am. lmao
I WAS DEAD TIREDDDDD. But, I'm a trooper. 8]
WEDNESDAY:
Of course my lazy family slept in too late to get continental breakfast. lol And technically it was my fault, because the alarms are set on my phone, but I didn't set it because by the time I was off the phone the previous night, I'd have only gotten an hour and a half of sleep. lmao So shh =X keep it on the DL.
We went out to brunch at the Hurricane Cafe, which had AMAZING FOOOOOD. ♥
My Aunt Sue and Uncle Tom took the day off of work and cooked us a barbecue. We got there around 2ish, and they have a typical Florida house, where like it's very summery inside, and outside they have an outdoor pool connected to their hottub, with an attatched bar and grill, and outdoor furniture - all enclosed in a giant ass screen sunroom. So like, it's outdoor but just screened in to keep bugs and GECKOS out, which we saw a lot of, and they're fricken sweet.
I fell asleep on the tanning chairs for like 4 hours lol.
I am bronze. 8]
They cooked us burgers and dogs, and we swam and talked all night about everything, them asking me hilarious questions about my life. I had some funny voicemails and pictures I showed them, and I won't go into any more detail than that, because it's too hard to explain and you just had to be there. lmao.
You know, Tom Cruise is pretty good-looking. LMAOOO
Ohhh, I love my aunt and uncleeee.
We left around 10ish after Idol. I haven't been following it this season, but Sanjiyah [sp?] has got to go. What a jokeee.
Read for a while, then chatted the night away, again, on the balcony of our hotel room. You just can't understand what this feels like. Ohhh, heaven.
THURSDAY:
We woke up in time for breakfast finally, and it was surprisingly really elaborate. After breakfast, my mom, Nathan and I went across the street to the beach and swam in the ocean!! =D I also had good pictures of this. ='[
I collected a crapload of seashells, and when a big wave knocked me off my feet and sent me colliding into the shells on the shore, I cut my leg on them. lol So my mom made me get out because if a shark smelled my blood she didn't wanna die. lmao MEANIE
So I chatted again. =]
Walking along the beach, jumping in the crashing waves.
HAHAHAHAHAH. My turn, bitchhhhh. 8]
We went back to the hotel and the hot sun came out again. We tanned for like 4 hours, and I took a dip in the pool with Nathan, and I dove in and apparently when they say NO DIVING, they say it for a reason, because I hit the bottom and my face is all scratched up and ugly and disgusting. =[ THANKS GOD.
So now that I look ridiculous, makeup is my best friend.
Anywayssss, we won't dwell on the bad. Later that evening, we went out to eat with my aunt and uncle to The Crab House. It was a HUGE outdoor/indoor seafood place and they had a live band who sang good songs that I knew and could sing along with. I had the coconut shrimp lol, the only thing on the menu that appetized me. I owe these thanks to Mitchell. lmao. Enjoyed a nice evening with the family, got more good pictures that are gone, and cried when they left. =[
Our final night in Florida. ♥
Chatted for a while again on the balcony, but not for quite as long, because we had to get up extra early to head home.
FRiDAY:
Got breakfast, packed, and left at 8am. Drove straight through. Didn't stop at a hotel this time, because none of us wanted to waste any time getting home. We made a lot of pit stops and ate a lot of fast food. Blasted a lot of music to keep the drivers awake. Around 11ish that evening I got a phone call, and it seemed weird because it didn't feel as late as it was, because it was dark since 9pm and it was just a blur of time being in the car and seeing the same highway road for hours and hours on end. I talked for like 3. =X Time flies by fast. Of course my dad hates me on the phone late. lmao
19 and Ryan is really creepy when it's 4:30am and nobody's out and you're sitting alone at a red light. =]
It felt so good to be home, although not so good when me, in a white beater and light sweats and no shoes or socks, steps out into the wintery cold =X I MISS PALM TREES AND SUNSHINE. ♥
Well, we brought everything inside and relaxed. I was told to report of my safe return home no matter the hour, and I did. Played my guitar for a while, man it's weird how you miss some things. Passed out by 5:30. In my own bed, my own pillow, my own sheets, my own room. ♥
SATURDAY:
Well we weren't supposed to be back until round 6pm yesterday, so I was glad we drove straight through. Was supposed to be a 22 hour drive. We made it in 18. I love my dad and his amazing driving. 8]
Didn't crawl out of bed until 2:30 lol and that's because people were getting impatient with meeee.
So let me tell you about my pictures story:
I tried uploading them, and that went fine. They copied fine, deleted off my camera fine, and saved fine. Just as I was about to view them to edit and rotate, the computer shut itself off. No surprise here, it does that all the time. Well when it turned back on, my pictures folder was gone and I still have yet to find them. So they're MIA at the moment, and probably just erased. So I cried in the shower for like ever, =\ thanks God, once again.
The rents went bowling, and let's just say I shouldn't blast music anymore. =] lol
Ears are always helpful... ;]
Went out and came back a little late lmao but it was straight cuz everyone was next door, and they all tried making me embarassed. lmao how truly embarassing it was, let me tell you. =P
Hottubbed, and then chatted a little before bed.
Watched I, Robot with Nathan.
Didn't get up until 12:30 today.
To sum up?
I had an amazing vacation, which I desperately needed.
It was a little taste of summer for me,
maybe not ENTIRELY accurate, due to some missing key points (lmaooo)
but it was so much fun, we all got along good for the most part,
and just...wow. =]
So now I'm home, I have a lot of unpacking to do.
Also homework. =X
I also have to distribute the stuff I got for people.
I think I'm gonna go searching on our computer one more time for my pictures. =\
The good things in life are definitely worth the wait. ♥
I'm homeeeeee. ♥
