Spring Broken

Have you ever gone on vacation and realize days later exactly how much this vacation was needed? I experienced this feeling a few days ago while laying in a comfortable king size bed at noon while watching Saved by the Bell with John. And not only was A vacation needed, but THIS vacation was needed.

Allow me to explain.

As a senior in college with limited funds, I found it necessary to travel, but in an economical fashion. After narrowing down some options in December, I decided on renting a house in the Outer Banks of North Carolina for a week with my boyfriend and two other couples. Now you have to understand that this area in the middle of March is not exactly tropical, which I was prepared for, which is why I insisted on choosing a house with a hot tub (it's not technically a spring break vacation unless a bikini is involved... in case you didn't know). The week was spent playing lots of Monopoly (I dominated), various card games that I'm pretty sure Sam made up on the spot, drinking daquiris and pina coladas in the aforementioned hot tub, and exploring the virtually tourist-free surroundings.

While we only had one nice day of a comfortable 65 degrees and sunny (which we spent kayaking and then visiting some otters), a good time was had by all (as far as I know). With little drama (Sam was there, so of course there was SOME drama... ahem a drunken incident regarding a dish washer), we all relaxed as a group, as couples, as individuals.

And then to end a relaxing week, I saw Wicked, got a new car, and gave myself a make over.

So now I feel rested, rejuvenated, and ready for the rest of my final semester as a college student. You can consider me Spring Broken. But not as broken as the dishwasher.
