Looks like someone has a case of the Mondays
It’s hard to believe it’s over. My last Spring Break, ever. Thank God it was the best one, and probably the best vacation I’ll ever have. Here are some numbers from the trip:
1,230 miles driven round-trip
7 days spent in Panama City Beach
13 people in the house
200+ pictures taken
2 kegs (approximately 330 beers) consumed
4 handles of liquor consumed
2 full games of beach softball played
20+ games of volleyball played
$380 worth of car repairs (explained later)
The weather was great all week long this year, a complete turn-around from last year. We spent every day outside playing in the sun. By the time night rolled around, everyone was exhausted and just wanted to stay home. If you know me well though, you’ll know that I was completely ok with not wasting money paying $20 cover to get into some lame club. Everyone else seemed to be on the same page so we just hung out at the house every night and sipped on the kegs.
The trip was awesome, but it wasn’t didn’t start out that way (don’t worry, nobody almost died or anything). On the way to Florida, Brent’s Mom’s car (containing Brent, Kam, Natalie, and Megan) broke down in a podunk town called Slidell in Lousiana. As you can imagine, being stranded on the highway in some small town isn’t the best way to start your Spring Break trip. It took an hour for a tow truck to come out and tow the car to a local auto shop where they proceeded to tell us that the car wouldn’t be ready until next Tuesday (it was Saturday at the time). Luckily, Brent’s parents came to the rescue. They agreed to begin driving to Slidell with an extra car so Brent and everyone else in that car could make it to Florida the next day. Huge props to his parents for helping everyone out in a bind.
I’m in the process of collecting pictures from everyone, look for them in the next day or two.
