Spring Break was an amazing time. I honestly can't remember a time when I had so much fun! We left on Saturday morning around 9am and drove all the way to Lake City, FL. On the way we stopped in Chattanooga, TN so I could see Rachel, one of my best friends, and I saw her house, which is really nice. We stopped in Atlanta, GA to pick up our fourth person, she was flying in from North Carolina, and we stopped in Macon, GA at Weslyean College, where Phi Mu was founded. :) Noelle, was the one coming in from North Carolina. She graduated in December, but had already planned to go on Spring Break with us, even though her Spring Break was this week, not last. She told all her professors that she was going to a wedding, and she was the maid of honor, and so she wouldn't be in class. So for anyone who read my note on Facebook and was confused, that was the 'wedding" and we just decided to run with it one night so we came up with a whole back story.
Anyways, Sunday we left Lake City around 8am and got to Key West around 8 that night. :) We went to Ihop, went to the liquor store, and went back to our hotel. We met some people staying in the room across from us and we went to their room and hung out with them until like 2 am. Monday we got up and went to the beach for the afternoon. It was gorgeous. Every once in a while the clouds would cover the sun, and it would get kinda cold, but nothing too bad. :) That night we went down to Mallory Square and Duval St. to watch the street performers at sunset. We also ate two 1/2lb cookies. We went back to the hotel, grabbed some fast food, and got ready to go out that night. That night we went down to Duval St. We hit up Sloppy Joe's where we were the youngest ones there by about 10 years. Lol. Then we went over to Rick's which is a place with like 5 different areas to hang and listen to music. We started off at the pool table, and then we went dancing. It was a great night. We all poured ourselves into bed the next moring for a few hours.
Tuesday we went to the beach again, and pretty much slept there. There were less clouds that day. That night we got dressed up, and went to the Southern Most Point, got our pictures taken. Then we went to a nice dinner. Our waiter, Kevin, was awesome. After dinner we went back to the hotel, and got ready to go out again. That night we went to the Lazy Gecko and Rick's on Duval St. Katy and I danced the night away, and Noelle and Stephy just hung out. We stayed up all night again. Wednesday morning we left for Miami. We went to Bahia Honda beach which is about half way b/t Key West and Miami. We were only there for about 2 hours, and then we went the rest of the way to Miami. We got in around 7 and checked into our hostel. Then we walked to a Chinese place, and got some food to go. We were so tired, we all just went to bed that night. We were all passed out by midnight. The next day we got up and Stephy and Noelle went to the beach and katy and I went shopping. We met them for lunch at a place called The Big Pink, and then we went to the beach for about an hour, but clouds were coming, and it was cold, so we all went shopping. That was fun. :)
That night we went out for pizza, and as we were walking back we decided that we were going to play out this Wedding thing and have a bachelorette party, so we got Stephy a crown that said bride to be and a $10 ring, and we came up with a back story, and we all had fake names and such. It was fun. So that night we went out to a place called The Mansion. We were only there for like 2 hours because it was so expensive, and pretty lame. we had more fun on the walk back to hostel because we kept running into some interesting people. So we went to bed that night. In the morning we got up and went to the beach. It was gorgeous. No clouds, a slight breeze. It was awesome. I decided to take some surf lessons. I got about 2 hours worth of lessons. it was awesome. I got up and everything. I had so much fun.
Then we laid on the beach for about another hour. That night we got dressed up again and went to dinner. No one really wanted to go out that night because were leaving at 4:30 the next morning. I was like, there is no way we're not going out our last night. So we walked down to ocean drive to a place called Wet Willie's and got some cool daquaris. Then Stephy and Katy went to bed. I went downstairs to play pool with Noelle, but while she was changing, the bartender asked if I would play him, so Noelle came down and watched me beat the bartender, and then said she was going to bed. We played another game and then I just chilled at the bar and talked to him until he closed at 2am. Then I went to bed for an hour or so.
Saturday moring we got up at 4 am and drove back to Evansville. We stopped in Atlanta to drop Noelle off so she could catch her flight back, and then we drove the rest of the way. By the time we got back to Evansville (after 20 hours of driving) we were pretty slap happy. I proceeded to put my suitcase in my room, grab a quick shower just to rinse off and then go to bed. I was exhausted. Sunday was spent doing chores: cleaning, shopping, laundry, etc... Then Monday it was back to classes. Now it's Tuesday and I'm slowly starting to get back into a routine. Spring Break '09 was amazing. I can't believe it happened, and I can't believe it's over. I keep expecting to wake up and it's still February. Lol.
