Perfect Weather

The rest of the week at Clearwater Beach was pretty amazing. We had pretty perfect weather the entire week, I had the most amazing almond French Toast I've ever eaten, and we found a little Italian gelato place that we visited three nights for flavors like chocolate hazelnut, ameretto, mixed berry, and finally P's favorite mint chocolate chip. He even took a gamble and tried some weird Coke knock-off called "Cockta". I didn't like it - tasted like cough syrup. I'll stick to the gelato LOL.

The drive home wasn't so nice. For a normal 7 hour trip, it took us about 12 hours to meander through wrecks, cops, and typical stupid Spring Break traffic. But the company and conversation were fantastic which made the drive more bearable.

We headed up to his boat on Lake Lanier to finish out our SB. He took the boat out Sunday afternoon and we worked on those tans a little bit more - completely helped us ease out of the end of Spring Break a little easier knowing that great days on the boat were ahead : )

School started back today - 6 weeks until Summer Break! Woo hoo! I think I can make it . . .

Spring Break for Life!

Decided to head to Florida and spend the week with Philip at Clearwater Beach.  Got a cute little studio apt through VRBO perfect for the two of us and it's right on the beach.  The drive was good until we got to CB and then it took about three hours in traffic to get to our little place.  P is a huge Michegan State fan and their Final Four game was starting at 6:04.  We had to bust our butts to unload and find a place to watch the game and eat.  We settled on a little hole-in-the wall local bar called the Shipwreck and ordered pizza from Angelo's across the street.  We drank our beer from mason jars and had some good laugh for our first night here.

Sunday and almost 24 hours after we left for the beach, we finally got our toes in the sand.  But the sun won.  At the end of the day, we were both fried.  So we made it better with beer, margaritas and some seafood from Cooters.

We stayed under the umbrellas most of the day Monday and just spent the evening around our little place.  Walked on the beach and watched the sunset before cooking up boiled shrimp and veggies for dinner and watching Duke pull off another National Championship - major kudos to Butler for making us remember not to discount the small schools.

About to head back out to the beach again today.  Having a great time laughing and getting to know each other a little better.  I'm a lucky girl :)
