Part 2 of my vacation is here! This was probably the most fun day out of all of them. I swam so much in the ocean. I love the ocean! Some people told my mom that I looked like a mermaid the way I was swimming. Maybe I was one in my past life? Anyway, I found a lot of beautiful seashells while I was in the ocean, and did plenty of floating. The water is so calm in the Gulf Coast that you can float without a care.
Mom and I woke up early and we wanted to make use of the fitness center. I got to sample one of the Luna bars that were sent to me. Which one did I decide to try? White Chocolate Macadamia! This was surprisingly good. I like white chocolate and macadamias but sometimes I find that Luna bars have this strange iron-taste to them. At the gym I got to enjoy an episode of Saved by the Bell. I haven’t watched that show in forever. If I met Screech in person I think I would’ve had a huge crush on him, and Zack too! After some muscle building we headed downstairs to have breakfast.
- The way I did up those bagels reminds me of Black and White cookies.
The banana nut muffin was very yummy too. And in that ramekin is oatmeal brulee. I wasn’t too keen on the flavor of that one, but it sounded interesting!
After breakfast we just hungout for a bit. I wanted to go to the sauna and see what was up. At first I was really confused because I didn’t know how to turn it on. Finally I figured it out, but I had to wait awhile for the room to actually heat up. Oh man, it definitely heated up! I kind of lost track of time since I was reading, then I heard my phone ring. “When are we going to the beach?” Since we had reciprocal guest privileges at this other hotel, we headed over to their beach!
- Before we started sweating pools.
- Dying in the intense heat.
I can’t imagine sunning on the beach all day without dipping into the ocean. The heat got to be unbearable, so at that point was when I got my mermaid swim on, and went looking for seashells. The water was so refreshing and we pretty much stayed in it for the rest of the time we stayed at the beach. We headed back to the hotel around 6 or 7. I can’t remember, but I know it didn’t feel like it was that late! It’s crazy how long summer days can seem.
- Mom and the crazy things she does while getting ready. Her mound of hair is being held up by curlers… I mean she just has a really big brain.
We managed to get ready before the sunset. Over on the Gulf Coast the sun sets over the water. It’s so beautiful. It was a bit cloudy that evening though, but the lighting still made everything look serene.
- We look like midgets!
- Modern version of Falkor!
- Hey Brooke! It’s a smaller version of a party bus!
- Uh oh
- Cute couple over here!
- I want to go sailing some time soon.
- Family shot.
- My kingdom mwahaha
- Stunned by Deatheaters!
- Bahaha actually I think my mom was!
- Oh my god! He’s alive!!!
- I look creepy. Watch out Mom!
- I’m a proud daughter! Look at my mama!
- Oh crap! We almost missed the tram back to the hotel.
- We walked around the pool area for a bit.
- Dipping her toes in the jacuzzi.
- Monkey child!
- There was a small cave thing by the waterslide that reminded me of the Playboy mansion grotta haha
- About to get our drink on.
- It was Veuve night.
- Little kids about to get crazy!
- Little kids that are already crazy!
- Mom can’t stay still.
- Discovered I like mojitos.
- And millionaire’s coffee too!
- But I already knew that I love desserts!
- We went back outside.
- Wouldn’t it be nice to fall asleep outside?
- Looks like someone did!
- Before we called it a night, I stopped to check my e-mail.
- And my parents patiently waited.
Oh! I almost forgot. When we got back from the beach, my mom spotted a cute guy around my age. So we were on a mission to spot him later on. Maybe he’d also be at the happy hour? We didn’t see him there but I atleast I had some other eye candy: the personal trainer at the gym. I wish I went to the tennis courts with my dad, I bet there would’ve been some cuties over there!
- Thought you guys would enjoy this little girl happily eating her avocado! (I just found this picture online)
Harry Potter comes out tonight! I have my ticket and I’m so excited. I just need to stay awake. Who am I kidding? How could I possibly fall asleep during a Harry Potter movie?
Moreover, yesterday I received a package from Kardea. All of the flavors sound incredible!!! Banana Walnut, Chai Spice, Cranberry Almond, and Lemon Ginger. I might not be able to choose just one to try at one time.
Get ready for Part 3 tomorrow!
