Please excuse us while we vacation ! I know usually people warn others before they go somewhere but due to slight drama I was not able to do so.
I will tell you the car ride from LA to FL was almost hell like. I felt like i was trapped in a cage. My poor Trailblazier was filled to the top with luggage and last minute must haves. The only thing that saved me was KMS iPad and we took turns playing phase 10 until we made it FL.
When we arrived at this HUGE tower like condo we had to have two luggage rails and a shopping cart ( traveling hoarders) to get our things out of poor Blaze.
Our Condo is nice but def small for 6 people and after this trip I promised myself to never go on any trip where i do no personally book the condo . There were several details left out and although i LOVE the beach there are just things i am not willing to put up with. But you live and learn!
Day 1 Sunday we didn’t arrive until about ehh 9pm and we stored all our things in the condo before hitting the streets. we took a right on Thomas passed by a couple condos, Alvin’s surf shop where I picked up all my souvenirs , found out the Ying Yang Twins where coming to Club Lavela and smallest “amusement park ” known to man which really just consisted of this slingshot and a ferris wheel that didn’t have a wheel. After that we walked back go in the car and went to Wal-Mart to stack up on food for the week and alcohol.
Day 2 Monday
We spent majority of the day at the beach. We had to purchase our “prison” bands and then set up our tent . WHO knew dragging a cooler in the sand was sooooo exhausting. I got a good enough tan that one day to last me the whole trip. Unfourtunely the water was too cold to even think about getting in it. Chef KMS made us some tasty burgers
Day 3 Tuesday
I would like to say I am from the country so things like being on a boat in the middle of no where is fun, and riding a four-wheeler can change your life. Anna and I rented scooters and when i say we thought we were going to die ! I am so serious. I almost ran over our instructor while he was trying to train me to use the dang thing. But i got the hang of the sucker and i have never felt more free than to be trying 30 mph on a scooter next to a 18 wheeler ha! Our other halfs joined us and we went down to the Pier Park where they had every shop from 4ever 21 to Target, Dillard’s to PacSun and more. There is also this huge theater name THE GRAND. Also there are tons of restaurants. This ride was about eh 11 miles from our condos . We even got to stop a store called Nothing Over A Dollar ( y’all know im cheap) I will tell you that the wind was cutting up! JMN KMS and I even went on a night trip on hwy 98 before we turned our scooters in. It’s a great deal so where ever yu might be look in on getting one. You have to be 16 & up can drive them. $45 for 8 hours and a refundable $50 deposit . KMS made us some banging Spaghetti that night !
Day 4 Wed
Like any trip the rain somehow finds us and poops on our day. But we decided to drive to Destin FL to the Silver Sands Premium Outlets . The trip would normal take 30 mins but due to the rain and the traffic it took 2 hours. The rain really gave me the gloomies. Then i got a call from work that just dug me deeper in the hole of depression. By the time we had arrived we realized that everyone in the city thought it would be a great day to go shopping and can’t even tell you how much i didn’t want to go in any store due to the amounts of people in them and the side walks. Did i mention it was still raining and my hair was straight? Ugh.. So i set off on a lone adventure of shopping which resulted in NO PURCHASES . do you hear me ? i did not buy ANYTHING. Everything was picked over and unorganized . the lines were out the door in some stores to get in and to pay . The lack of lunch on top of all this dispire resulted in me finding temporary happiness in Cheeseburger Paradise . Everyone took a break from actually shopping and joined me for some lunch about 430 at 5 30 i headed back to the truck because lets face it the cold air and the Flamingo Margarita i had was convincing me into a serious coma. I went back to the truck for a nap and at 735 no one in my group was to be seen. We didn’t leave until about 9 . Being in a unfamiliar dark place wasnt the best dark of my day but being away from all human contact was what was best for mankind that day. Anna and her Hubs made us AMAZING Alfredo pizza for diner as we all sat around and watched ” my weird obsessions” and “hoarders”
Day 5 Thursday
KMS & Joe headed to the beach and Fats and i went to Panama Dunes. Yay ! JMN had his eye on the Cam AMs dirt track and i wanted to sail through the sky on the zipline. Unfourntately the ziplines were being a bit sizist. After a brief ride around we came back to the condo to head to the beach. Once we got down there we realized that KMS & Joe had already gone. Seems like we missed them in the elevator. Instead we watched The Lucky One like a group of 15-year-old girls and went out to Deadeye Dicks for super. KMS & i decided to have a water fight where my weapon was stolen and i couldnt remember where i hid the recovery weapon. So i had to lock myself up in the bathroom in order to stay dry and think where the hell i put it. In the end the weapon i recovered was not functioning properly or the operator was having a brain fart ( thats what some would say) I came () to missing Scandal because i had NO IDEA what channel ABC is in FL OMGGG . I was wet , cold,and freaking out! Finally i found it with and my 60 mins of pleasure began.
Day 6 Friday
Well day is Friday! And since I have work to get done and Joe has homework we had to come out to the Bay County Library. It is massive! Thank goodness for WiFi since our condo only has a “wi-fi spot” . I decided to update the blog, reply to some emails, and work on the spread sheet. Since we our out of the tourist city i want to do some thifting
HOPE you guys are having a good week
