It's been long, snowy winter in Kirksville, and luckily spring is just around the corner. To celebrate my last spring break ever (weird, I know), I took off to Hilton Head Island, SC for a week with my girlfriends. We had an incredible vacation, full of much-needed time together and relaxation. The whole week was incredible, but if I had to narrow it down…
Top 10 Spring Break 2011 Memories
10. The babe pool at Hilton Head...
Yes, there were some real heartbreakers in the crowd...Dad was worried there would be boys there. I don’t think he had much to worry about. We were the youngest ones there by a long shot. Well, except for the couple that brought their grandkids.
9. The SWEET condo we stayed in
 |
| This is the cleanest it looked all trip, but what do you expect with 6 girls in one condo |
 |
| King size bed with a flat screen and an ocean view?!? I'll take it! |
 |
| And a jacuzzi to boot! |
A huge thanks to the Kroegers for working all of the details out for us!
8. The car ride there and back
It may have been long, but we had a great time. Sketchy gas stations, enough granola bars to feed an army, a GPS named Myrtle, and the Spice Girls—perfect for a road trip to the beach.
7. Touching a live sea star and sand dollar
 |
| Liz is the one who actually held it. I just touched it. With one finger. Good enough for me. |
Things that are slimy or are alive but don’t have faces aren’t really my bag, but it was still pretty cool.
6. Frequent trips to the Piggly Wiggly. And by frequent, I mean at least twice a day. We kept running out of cereal.
5. Adventures in cooking dinner and scarfing down cereal like it was going out of style.
 |
| Pancake night! |
4. Going to the beach every day, no matter what.
 |
| Staying warm |
 |
| Getting a tan...or in my case just laying there praying not to get sunburned. |
Sunny or cloudy, warm or freezing, we were ready to go. Now that's dedication.
3. Riding bikes all around the island.
 |
| Yes, I actually rode it, not just adjusted the seat. And I wore a helmet. Promise. |
For anyone who was lucky enough to be present when I tried to learn how to ride a bike when I was 5 or has experienced my lack of coordination, you know what a miracle this is. I loved it, though. It was so much fun!
2. Spending quality time with my best friends
 |
| Roommates! |
I am blessed to have friends who love the Lord and who keep me accountable as we strive to be more like Jesus.
