Spring Break 2011

So obviously, I didn't write this past week because I was in Georgia on spring break. :) This past week was awesome! The weather was amazing and seeing friends who I haven't seen in a year or more was so much fun. SO I left last Friday, on the 11th and headed to Atlanta. I met up with my friend Kellie and her boyfriend Dylan, and spent the weekend with them. Friday we didn't do much, just stayed in, talked and watched movies. We went to Centennial Park and walked around Downtown ATL on Saturday. That night we went out to a local bar and chilled.

Sunday morning I left and headed to Eatonton, GA, about an hour south of ATL to go to Kevin's house for a few days. I met his parents, grandparents, and one of his uncles. It's kind of cool that his family lives so close to each other. Monday he took me to Athens, GA, which is east of ATL and home to the University of Georgia where he did his undergrad. That campus was HUGE!!! But it was absolutely beautiful. It was a lot of fun.

Tuesday Kevin and I headed to Savannah, GA to see my friends Rachel and TJ. They have a 7 mo. old son named Jax. This was the first time I got to meet him. He is so cute, but was teething so wasn't exactly happy a lot of the time. TJ's brother Riley was also in town, so they had a full house. TJ is a Ranger in the army and so they live on base. So in their 2 bedroom 1 bathroom house they had 5 adults, one baby, and two dogs for 3 days. :) It was so much fun though. Rachel, Riley, Jax, Kevin, and I all went to the beach (TJ had to work). It was pretty windy, but still nice. That night Rachel and I left the boys at home and went to this place called Lulu's Chocolate bar in downtown Savannah. It was chocolate heaven! Thursday was St. Patrick's Day, and Savannah has the second largest Saint Patrick's Day parade in the US. And let me tell you, it was long. 2.5 hours and it was still going! But we all saw TJ march by, and besides being long, the parade was pretty good, and the weather was amazing!!! That night after Jax went to bed we played Scattegories.

Friday morning Kevin and I got up pretty early for Spring Break (like 7:15) so we could hit the road before 8. Kevin had an interview at 1 that afternoon so we had to get back. However, because we got back to his house so early I had a lot of time to kill before I had to be back up in ATL to meet my other friend Stephanie. So I decided to take a side trip to Peachtree City, GA, which is just south of ATL and visit Phi Mu headquarters (my sorority's headquarters). It was awesome! I got a tour of the facility and got to go into the museum. After that I headed up to meet Stephanie. We chilled that night, got ice cream, watched movies, and crashed early.

Saturday we did some antique shopping in the morning, and then met Kevin for lunch (he went back to Oxford on Saturday). Kellie and Dylan also joined us. I was hoping Kellie and Stephanie would hit it off since they live within 15 minutes of each other and were both looking for some more friends. I think they did. :) That afternoon Stephanie and I headed to a thrift store shopping district. That night we met up with Kellie and Dylan and hit up a local bar. It was called Johnnie MacCracken's Celtic Irish Pub. It was interesting, but not necessarily a place I would go on a regular basis.

Sunday morning I had to leave. :( So I got up and headed out around 9:30 and drove back to Oxford. I got in around 2, and have basically been getting ready for the week since. I got some homework done, did my laundry, and have been watching Harry Potter (I swear these Harry Potter weekends happen like once a month). I don't have Contracts at all this week, so that frees up some time on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday morning which will be helpful b/c I still have some work to do on my Appellate brief which is due in a week. I also hope to book my flight to England for the summer and to find out for sure if I got the internship I interviewed for before spring break. And if all that isn't enough, I need to go look at an apartment that I think will be where I live for the next two years. Crazy.

This spring break was well needed, and it came at a great time. I am so happy I got to see all my friends, and hang out with Kevin for most of it. Definitely one of my top spring breaks. :) Oh and just because I'm awesome. I stayed $30 under my SB budget!!! :-D
