Saturday, June 9th: Flew into Las Vegas. Can I just tell you how awful the flight was? I was in the aisle seat with a mother and a 6 month old baby behind me. The baby kicked the back of my chair the whole time. Awful!!!! Waited an hour or so, got some nasty lunch at Aunt Annie's and then flew into Birmingham where Hayley picked me up! That was a good flight. I had the window, nobody was in the middle. Perfect. We saw lots of gay couples that night, we couldn't figure out why there were so many. Turns out there was a Gay Pride parade. Ha ha! We ended up staying at Motel 6. Cheap, but that's okay. It was stinky, and kind of scary. While waiting to get the room key Hayley knocked down the picture on the wall by the receptionist. Priceless.
Sunday, June 10th: We woke up, got ready and ate at Hardees. Weird. In Utah, it would be known as Carl's Junior, but here it's known as Hardees. Then we drove the 4 hours to Destin. It was pouring, I mean POURING rain. The streets were flooded. We had to pull over because you couldn't see the roads at all. We decided it would be fun to run around the car.. ha bad idea. We got soaked! And we weren't even outside for 10 seconds. The rain calmed, and we continued on.. We made it!! We had to drive through a toll booth though. That think sucked! $3 plus paying for gas just to drive on Florida roads? Not cool. And of course we spotted Panera, and since there is none in Utah we had to stop so I could have $10 macaroni and cheese :) Mmmm. Then we found a motel (another Motel 6) and unpacked our stuff and went to dinner. It was rainy, so everything was closed :(

Monday, June 11th: We woke up, got ready, had breakfast, and WENT TO THE BEACH! Gulf of Mexico. The water was sooooo freaking warm. I loved it! We decided to go parasailing.. Can I just say, best experience of my life! We almost didn't get to go because the weather wasn't cooperating. I was really scared at first, but it was so much fun! By the end of the day I was so sunburnt :( We went and saw Snow White and the Huntsman and got ice cream for dessert. Good movie!
Tuesday, June 12th: Repeat of Monday.. This time we went to a different beach which had much much much more gorgeous ocean. Clear, and turquoise. I was uncomfortable because I was so sunburnt from Monday so it wasn't that fun to lay out. The sun just hurt me! At night we walked the pier. It was so pretty to see the sunset and the ocean breeze felt so amazing! We got some delicious Dippin' Dots for dessert that night. Mmm!
Wednesday, June 13th: Repeat of Tuesday. This times we went to the same beach we did on Monday. The water was gross this time though. Really mossy! But thankfully we rented a chair (that we never had to pay for because the attendant never collected payment) so my sunburn didn't suffer from the sun. Hayley rented a paddle board.. lucky dog! It looked way fun. And hard. After we played at the ocean for a good 4 hours, we went to a Sunsation shop and got hair wraps! That took a good freaking 4 hours. But they turned out so cute! And we made a friend with the girl that did them. She's from the middle east. Yeti is what she wanted us to call her. She was such a fun girl to be around, and for never speaking English, she did amazing! Then we got to go to The HardRock Cafe and shop at the amazing mall for a little bit.. I made a pit stop to Victoria Secret's Semi-Annual sale. Spent a little too much, whoops :)
Thursday, June 14th: We woke up late. We slept in too much. We went to brunch and then trekked a good 5 hours (heavy heavy traffic) back to Birmingham. We had a trucker pull up next to us and hold up his number in the window. All we could do was laugh! Ha ha. We stayed in a hotel this time. Creepy hotel, must I add. First thing we do when we walk in is see a scary man staring at nothing, not moving a muscle breathing loudly in his oxygen tank. CREEPY! We went to Cheesecake Factory for dinner then came home and had a dance party, just like every night. And went to bed. Awe, the trips ending :(
Friday, June 15th: We woke up from a very well rested night in a HOTEL. Yes, a hotel. And we decided to eat breakfast, Hardee's again. :) We drove around and Hay drove me to the airport. So sad :( I waited like an hour there because my flight was delayed.. After I boarded, we flew to Chicago and it was so stupid because I barely made my flight and got crappy seats between two men. Not too bad, but the window seat guy was grumpy and the aisle seat guy read his scriptures the whole time with the light on.. Hello! I'm trying to sleep. Then I finally made it home. The end :)
I should go to bed now, I just can't sleep. Good night, world.
