Spring BROKE and Sun BURNT 🌞

Road Trip There:

Didn’t feel as nearly as long as it actually was. Gas is expensive in Florida. 

Arrival: met the family, and got pushed in the pool. Thanks Carlie. 🙄

Cleaned out my snacks on the car ride. So I consider that a win.  

Day One:

Heard Carlie’s bomb talk

Spent the day at the beACH (where I received my glorious sunburn)

Won the Sunday Mulberry Volleyball Tourney 

Got deep into the ocean

The largest wave crashed over me, and one boob when FLYIN’. I flashed. The whole beach. When in Florida... 🤷🏽‍♀️

Got FRIED. Like, southern chicken deep fried burnt

Day two:

Woke up an hour and a half later than I wanted to #whoops

Went to a park and ran sprints and played soccer and was low-key worried I was going to get attacked by a crocigator and nobody was going to be there to save me. But don’t worry. I was fine. 
Went to target. So proud of myself for not purchasing anything. 

Took a shower in Carlie’s moms bathroom and she almost walked in on me butt naked. That would have been a story 😂 

Went to Grills- had this delicious Cuban Shrimp Sammich’ (spicy as hecccckkkk) and then when I was boxing up the other half and I DUMPED IT ALL OVER THE GROUND. I was such such such a mess. 

After, we went boujie house-hunting with Carlie and her family... (like, huge huge houses... milllions of dollars...) but I wasn’t feeling well so I slept in the back of the car and then came home and took a fat nap. I was feeling so sick. 
Also went to this sweet surf store called "Ron Jon's". I saw like 890.8 billboards for Ron Jon's on the road trip down. 

Okay. AZ is so cute. 

Sun Burn ^^^^ ahahahha. 

Day Three: 

Got up that early early mornin to go to the Orlando Temple. Needed it. Had a good good talk with The Lord. I probably won’t be able to go again for a while     

Another Day at the Beach

Ate Chic-Fil-A. Felt so happy. 

no paparazzi, please 

Day Four:

Sunrise at the beach

Lunch with Lillians grandparents (who were DOLLS) 

We were leaving the restaurant. And our windows are open. And this fit 5’6” black guy named Daryl comes to talk to us. First thought: am I gonna die today? Second thought: sales pitch... bring it on. 

The convo went something like this

Daryl: “Hi there I see you have a crack in your windshield and we can fix it for free”

Me: “Sorry this isn’t my car” *looks in backseat at Arizona

Arizona: “yeah, sorry we got to go”

Daryl: “I see you got this retarded crack [he said retarded] in your windshield and if you got full coverage on your car we can fix it for free”

Lillian: “yeah we’re on spring break and got to get back to the beach”

Daryl: “Well shoot! Take me wit’ you!”

Me: “Alright you wanna go? We got a seat in the back”

Daryl: “hell yeah!”

Me: “well, and she’s single!” *I roll down the back passenger window to reveal ARIZONA sitting near the car and Daryl proceeds to CHECK. HER. OUT.* *I have never seen Arizona SO RED. Well, red for a brown person* ahahahaha

Anyway, I found us a way to get out of there. 

We spent some more time at the beach

Shopping alll over and ate delicious little salt-water taffy 

Day Five:

Said goodbye to Carlie 😭😭

All I know is that I am so grateful for the friends I made on my mission. Grateful for friendships in general. Thanks Carlie, Lillian, Zona, and Mulberry fam for the great spring vacay. 

Stopped at the coolest place in Goergia. Peach World. I regret my decision to not purchase peach ice cream.
