Stolen tandem bicycle.

Hey galz.  So I am returned from my last spring break vacation ever.  What.... It was really great though.  Ft. Laudy was sunny and warm, although it still got chilly in the nighttime.  We drove down and stayed one night in Valdosta, and got to Asher's Aunt Sharon's beach house on Saturday.  Sharon was great.  She is way cooler than I will ever be in my forties, and she couldn't have been more welcoming.


The SB crew: Al, Jimmy, Ell Bell, Ash baby, me, Boofie 



Sharon's house was a five minute walk to the beach, so we had beach days on Sunday and Monday.  We had gone grocery shopping promptly after arriving in Ft. Lauderdale, so we planned out our meals for the week and ate like kings.  Or Americans....either way.  Hehe.  We did so many random things: we had a pizza party with Asher's grandparents and relatives one night.  We went to a ridiculous Guido bar called Blue Martini where I literally felt as though I was watching an episode of Jersey Shore.  We saw Alice in Wonderland on a cloudy day.  We woke up at 5:30 to go see the sun rise one morning (and got Krispy Kremes). [Sidenote: this was Asher's idea, and a fail.  It was freezing cold and we all wanted to stay in bed.  Pretty, but not as great as the concept of watching the sunrise.]  We went to Miami and walked around, had high tea for Becca's birthday with her family, and had a 1 am dance party on the beach on a night that we joined up with some of our Athens friends that had been camping in the Keys and came to stay a night with us. 




The tandem bicycle of our neighbors that we admired all week! (Becca & Jimmy borrowed it our last night in Florida)




The boyz that joined us.




There are more pictures on facebook.  All in all it was a really good trip.  There is such a closeness among our group, everyone is so loving and it was just good time to be together and enjoy one another.

I love you all!

  3. i so know what you mean about the concept of watching the sunrise being much more appealing than the actual action. last year when i was in florida for spring break, me and cara got up to watch the sunrise on my birthday. apparently beaches are cold when the sun hasn't risen. and being sleepy doesn't help.
