Relaxing

Boy was I tired from swimming the day before.  I woke up and my parents, my sister, and I decided to head to the Modica Market to get waffles.  We had been waiting for this all week!  Modica Market's waffles are so good!  They are  two times the size of a normal waffle and are twice as good.  After they cook it, fresh strawberries and whip cream are added.  You also have get choose to put syrup or butter on them.  Although hey might take a while to eat, they are so delicious!  After eating my whole waffle,  I was full and bloated, but satisfied.  As the bright sun was beating down, my sister was getting sun burned.

She was bright red already from the day before when she tanned with her friends.  So my parents gave her some money and I went with her to buy a cap.  I knew this would be a fun experience, because last time I was with her in Seaside walking around a little girl was talking to her grandma and said," wow look how young her mom is."  I was cracking up when that happened.  Any way we went into Sun Dog Bookstore and bought a cap.  The price was so expensive, it was twenty seven dollars!  My parents said they care more about her skin, she doesn't care, she just liked the cap.  We bought the cap and went upstairs to the porch of sun dog, and stared at the beautiful view of the beach.  We stayed there and lost track of everything around us.  Relaxing in Florida is so calming!

Last day with my friends

As the week was coming to a close I was getting very sad, because I hate leaving a place I love so much.  I still had two more days, but it felt like one since literally almost everyone who came to Seaside for Spring Break was leaving the day before.  I had a blast with my friends on their last day.  Lilly and I went kayaking!  We rode our bikes on the curving, fun paths through the wooded area until we reached the beautiful lake.  We grabbed a life jacket and headed out!  The guide told use how to paddle and left us on our own paddling !  We headed out  and paddled in a loop around a pavilion and then under a cool bridge  that you can ride your bike on.  While on the kayak I was perfectly content.  Just a little scared of alligators, but the guy reassured me there were no alligators, because they take them out when they see them.

 I could feel the wind blowing on me and the sun felt amazing beating down on me.  Lilly and I talked and paddled around in our kayaks for probably an hour.  Kayaking with Lilly was such a great experience!  Lilly and I rode our bikes to the beach to meet Mary Charles, and Avery.  The ocean was freezing so we instead dug  a hole with a few guys from Holy Trinity.  The hole was at least three and a half feet deep, when we helped them finish a guy came up to us from the chair rental company and said we had to fill it in because someone could fall in it.  We were hungry, so we went to the taco bar and had fantastics fish tacos!    Louise was gong to join us, but decided not to.  I was so sad everyone was leaving the following morning.  We talked, they were jealous I got to stay for another day.  I was sad they wouldn't be there.  We said bye and I headed back to the house.

A blur

The last day of Spring Break was literally a blur.  Of course it had to be the foggiest, ugliest day.  I still enjoyed it since I was in Florida and everyone else that was on spring break was home. On this day we decided to spend our time at the beach.  We stayed their for probably four hour, it was so fun.  I flew a fish shaped kite with my dad and met these cute triplets, but I can not remember their names.  Their mother was from England and their father was from India.  I played with the little kids for about an hour and they loved the huge bubbles I was blowing so when they left I gave them the rest of them.  I was going to get into the ocean, but I hardly could see it!  There was fog everywhere and ships had to travel only about fifty yards from shore.  It was fun however watching the huge waves, the sound almost put me to sleep!

My sister and I at the beach 

 As I tried to sleep I couldn't so ended up looking at the clouds and saw it was clearing up a little.  I was wide awake now and my dad and I decided to go up to the get a frozen ice from Frost Bites.  We headed up the beach and as we reached the pavilion something happened.  My dad broke his toe.  You will never guess what he broke it on, me!  I was in front of him and he was not paying attention and he ran into my heel.  He screamed and then set his toe back into position.  I could tell it hurt him a lot, we still got the frozen ice and then headed back down the beach.  It hurt him too much so I went down to get his shoes and towel and then he went back to the house to ice his toe.  Shortly after, my mom, sister and I went back to the house, my dad was doing better.  So we were happy!  Since it was our last night we decided to go out, we had a great meal at Great Southern!  We went back to the house and packed.  I was sad that we were leaving in the morning.

Coming Home

I was tired when I woke up in the morning.  I was a little excited that I would see my dog soon, so that changed my mood.  It was seven a.m and our plane was leaving at nine, so we had a pretty long time until we had to leave.  We didn't want to be late though, so after packing all of our suite cases we headed out.  I tried to sleep in the car to the airport, but couldn't so I listened to my ipod.  Before I knew it we were at the airport!  The southwest people checked our bags and then we went through security.  Security scares me for some reason!  Any way it was thirty until nine and we had not eaten breakfast.  So we grabbed a muffin.

The muffin had 500 calories!  So I only ate a little bite of it.  Then we boarded the plane.  My mom and I sat together in the back of the plane and watched as the stewardess showed us what do do with the life jackets incase of an emergency.  That to me is the best part of the flight it always cracks me up fro some reason.  They finished explaining and we took off, we were heading home!  Well to Tennessee and then driving home.  I read for almost the whole time, I also actually feel asleep!  We landed and I had to say it was the smoothest flight I have ever been on.  We got our luggage and then drove home to Kentucky!  

Looking Back

Looking back, I think Spring Break this year was very fun!  The number one thing that i loved was freedom.  Freedom from school and from a busy schedule.  I also felt like I had a lot of freedom hanging out with my friend who I don't get to see as much as my friends from school.  There was no drama on Spring Break, like there is at school.  I just love having any break I can have.  Going to Florida is so fun and is almost like a tradition in my family since we have been going down there since I was three.  Spring Break 2011 was the bomb.  I have had better I have had worse, but when you are in Florida you only think about the good things.  Because everything in Florida and especially in Seaside and Watercolor makes me smile.

 Spring Break 2010 was fun too.  Same for 2009.  Now back to my story of Spring Break.  The car ride was five hours from from Tennessee to my house, it seemed longer though.  It was kind of fun because I had not been in a car for a while.  Before I knew it we reached Pet's, that is where my dog stays.  I went inside and he was so happy to see us!  We took him for a walk when I got home and I told him about Spring Break and how it was so fun. I will never forget Spring Break 2011!:)
