SBPCB09

My last Spring Break. One would assume that my senior year I would be gallivanting off on some extravagant adventure to celebrate the ending of my collegiate career. Well I did just that. ...Okay, maybe not extravagant or extremely adventurous, but I did go to the beach and relax with some of my favorite people in the world. It may have rained 4 out of the 5 days we were there, but despite the ominous skies, we had a great time. To avoid a post that involves way too many details covering my 5 day adventure in Baypoint, here's a synopsis via bullet points:

• we got lost 5 minutes from our destination
• we ran
• we read
• we drank a lot of coffee
• we ate great seafood
• we asked/answered a lot of questions
• we went shopping [yes, we made it to Alvin's Island, don't worry]
• we ate some more
• we played a hilarious card game that will inevitably be too hard to explain
• we ate desserts, lots of dessert
• we found out 'Hannah' really does translate to 'Anita' in Spanish
• we attempted to use spray-on sun screen

On Tuesday we got to celebrate Jason's birthday and it ended up being the prettiest day outside. We drove to Destin to get breakfast at the Doughnut Hole [if you haven't ever eaten there, I suggest you stop reading this, get in your car, pick up a friend, road trip to Destin and order a cinnamon doughnut] then met up with his family and spent the day out on the beach. Most of us managed to leave the beach with random sections of sunburn. And most of those burns were a product of application error [*refer to the last bullet point]. We wrapped up the gorgeous day on the beach with a shrimp boil, compliments of Mr. Orme. Needless to say, it was fantastic. After staring into gray skies for the first few days, it was such a gift to have a warm, sunny day on the beach. Wednesday, a few of us headed back to Auburn, only to disperse again for the second half of the week.

The first half of SB '09 was lovely: a nice little break from reality with great friends.
