Fun in the Sun for Free

After class on Wednesday me and Holly left for the deep south Florida sun! We were on our way to an all expence paid trip for four glorious nights in Panama City Beach. The trip was long, and once I started driving the second half at night, it began to get even longer. We got stuck in rush hour traffic and pouring sheets of rain. At 11:00 that night we arrived safely to our hotel and finally got settled in. We got some energy once we got to our room but it wasn't too long until we settled in for some sleep. We woke up bright and early Thursday and hit the beach. Florida is my FAVORITE in the fall because it's a bunch of retired people, the water is SO clear and clean and it's very peaaceful and quiet. That night, we realized we didn't like it AS much because everything closes at 10:00! Karaoke was that night at our hotel and we thought we would mix up the Patsy Cline and Jonny Cash and add in a little Dixie Chicks "Earl Had to Die" in there on them. They seemed to like it, especially the "acting out" of the song as well! It was quite the performance! With our belly's full from Escargot, Tropical drinks, King crab legs, and Chocolate cake. . . ALL for free, we headed to bed with much energy and excitement for the next new day! Friday was a little overcast, but night for a good tan! We rode the waves all afternoon until the rain stoped us for about an hour which left us time to work out and eat lunch and warm up in the steam room. For the rest of the afternoon we laid on our sun deck and fell asleep for a much needed nap. That night for dinner I had popcorn shrimp and a salad. I didn't go all out like the night before!
Saturday, our last full day of fun was spent laying out on the beach and riding jet skiis for an hour and a half. . . did i mention. . . all for free?! We got out as early as we could and stayed as late as we could! We left for dinner and enjoyed a nice 10 oz. file minon (i could NOT pass up the steak!) and a baked potato! Afterward Holly and I headed to some souvenier shops and bought us some sunglasses, sweatshirts, and sweatpants all on sale! We were pretty cold with our crazy sun burns that we got that day so sweats sounded very nice! And plus we just had to have "going home" outfits! We got home a little later than planned but we made alright time last night. It was a great trip for us two to get closer and to relax before finishing up the second half of our semester!
