My spring break was great. :) I went to Florida for the week with my dad, brother, step mom, and my step sister. The one part that I dreaded though was the car ride there and back. But anyways, we left around 1:30 on Friday and drove through the night. We got to my grandparents house in Naples, Florida around 11 the next morning. We all unpacked and hung around the house for the rest of the day. The next day was Easter, so we woke up early and went to church. The day before, my dad and step in Key mom, Glenda, were talking about going snorkeling in Key Largo, then spending the night in Key West. So we got hotel rooms in Key West and reservations for snorkeling in Key Largo for Monday and Tuesday. After figuring all this out, we went to the beach. It was about 85 degrees and it was so nice! We drove back to my grandparents after a couple hours at the beach. I can’t really remember what we ate for Easter dinner, but I do remember that it was good. My grandparents have an indoor pool and hot tub, so after dinner me, Sam, and Sydney got in the hot tub.
The next day was Monday and also the day we go snorkeling. The 3-4 hour drive to Key Largo was worth it though. My grandma and grandpa didn’t want to go snorkeling, so they dropped us off at the snorkeling place. We ordered wet suits, thinking that they would keep us dry, but we were wrong. Going snorkeling was a ton of fun, but scary too since I’m scared of big fish. We were probably out there in the water for an hour when Sydney swam up to me, freaking out. She told me to look right below me, so I did. I saw the scariest thing in the world. It was a HUGE sting-ray! The big scary looking thing was on the floor of the sea, covered in sand. After seeing that, I got out of the water immediately. We drove about another hour or two to get to Key West after snorkeling. There is a ton of gift shops in Key West and a ton of interesting things to see. I think the craziest thing I saw down there, though, was wild chickens. They would just run around the streets there like squirrels do here. Tuesday morning we walked around for a little bit longer, and then drove our five hour drive back to Naples.
Wednesday and Thursday we went to the beach all day. Thursday night we met up with our cousins and spent the night on Third Street listening to bands play all along the street. Friday was kind of a depressing day, just because I knew that it was our last full day in Florida. Once again, we spent the day relaxing on the beach. Saturday morning, we left around 5:30 and in the car all day. Even though we weren’t in Florida anymore, coming back home was nice too. (:
