Spring Break in Pensacola Florida
Well my mother and I put aside our differences and headed off toward Florida for a nice relaxing vacation. We left Wednesday morning, heading for the sunny beaches in Pensacola. We were quite happy to leave behind all the cold weather and rain. The trip was a long one. We stayed in Baton Rouge wednesday night and continued our journey on thursday. Thursday was a grand day indeed. We traveled quickly out of Louisiana and into Mississippi where we drove through my childhood memory of Biloxi. Being still cold, windy, and cloudy we did not stay long, but just kept going. I must say, East Texas, Louisiana, Alabama, and Florida are beautiful! I just loved all the trees and the lush green grass. Upon arriving in Florida, the clouds broke up and we were blessed with glorious sunshine. We visited the Pensacola beach, the Santa Rosa Beach, and then headed to Destin (our main destination) and visited their beach. The best part was when we sat down on the Destin beach and were suddenly surprised with the sight of dolphins. There were quite a few of them too. It was one of the most thrilling things I experienced this whole Spring Break.
Friday really was not that great of a day. We went back to Destin where we got to see the dolphins again though. But it was just too cold. Mom and I deserted the beach and decided to make a small trip to Panama City. There really wasn't much to look at. It was definately a touristy type town and the streets were congested with tons of Spring Breakers. Destin in comparison is much more high class, more where actual people live. Driving through Panama City made me realize how much my Spring Break sucked. Here were a bunch of kids hanging out with there friends and having fun, while I was stuck. Don't get me wrong. I love my Mom and we do have fun together, but when I'm with her, I can't be free to be myself. So we basically wasted the day. However, we did go to Joe's Crab Shack. That was quite fun indeed. Our water was pretty cute, he talked like Pauly Shore, and he was really nice. His name was Michael and he helped me learn how to eat crawfish. Mom thinks he was flirting with me but I don't know. It's not like I get flirted with oftenly, so I wouldn't know.
Saturday was much warmer than Friday and I got to spend the whole day on the beach. It was quite hilarious. I was laying out in my two-peice swim suit while Mom was bundled up. She had on a jacket and wrapped herself up in a bunch of towels. hehehe. I did get some sun, not a lot, but some. Plus I got my sunset painting. Well it's not really a sunset, but close enough. **giggles** I would have gotten the sunset, but it was way too cold and we just had to leave! Oh well... but we stayed in that night and just lounged about.
Sunday we headed back home. Twelve straight hours from Destin back to Roanoke. Well we did stop for an hour at Cracker Barrel. We listened to music, read from the bible, talked, and I got my homework done. It was a good trip home. I must say, when we got back I was happy to sleep in my own bed again. Plus I'm glad school will be starting soon. This has to be one of the worst Spring Breaks I've ever had.
