ahhh the sweet sound of the term spring break. last week i adventured with friends caitlin, jack, curtis, blaine & willie. leaving newport news at 10pm on a saturday night was a pretty unique way to start our week, but the men insisted we drive through the night.
now i love car rides! i love them! and the thought of a 11 hour car ride from newport news, va to st. augustine, fl didn't bother me one bit!
the clock struck 10 and we were off ...for what i was hoping to be a laid back, relaxing week. and man was i right! The Lord blessed me with rest, good conversation, warm sun, good food, good friends and the occasional night bike rides! it was everything i could ask for in a vacation. half way through the week i felt a difference though. not once before had i traveled somewhere without my family... i was really on a vacation....with just friends! and although i enjoyed every second of my time in st.aug the dynamics of the trip were so different! My family has been so blessed with the opportunity to travel more then annually. Breckenridge, Colorado, Fenwick, DE, the outer banks, california, new york, alaska and others are just a few of our past trips.
back to st. augustine.... The heavens provided such great beach weather. all got color...some more then others! i myself got pretty burned on my chin because my hat didn't cover my entire chin. But gosh! there is just something soooo amazing that comes with soaking up the sun. i love the sun... i remember when i was little wishing i were a starfish so i could just lay on the rocks and soak up sun ... ah what a life that would be!
Spring break 2011 was unique, i hadn't really been on a laid back spring break trip ever because growing up i was always traveling somewhere for lacrosse, or with the family...well except last year. which i basically went on a 3 week break....but that was in the midst of my semester off from school so that doesn't really count.
St. Croix, the US Virgin Islands.... My momma and I traveled down to st. croix to visit John last spring. He had spent about 8 months there, working ...well playing while working ...bartending, sushi chef, and a snoorkling tour guide on off buck island. visiting him was such an amzing time! especially because i was able to be there with my momma! her and i look back on the trip to this day and agree that it was the best time we have had together !
John has always been the most adventurous gargiulo... and that's saying a lot in comparison to joe and kristen who are without a doubt the 2nd and 3rd most adventurous people i know!....and then there is me. haha but hey ! I am living in newport news this summer! well for at least may and june !!! thats pretty out of the ordinary if you ask me.
---- a little bit about 207 ----
As of May 1st i along with my beautiful roomates Lauren King, Abby Hogge, Caitlin Dunn and Kelly Lane we will have Newport News residency at 207 Woodroof !!
At the beginning of 2011 the Lord blessed us with this home, it was a former CNU lacrosse players and so it all worked out really well ! for our benefit! 207 is going to be so wonderful! conveniently about a mile or so walk from campus. Once we get some pictures taken of our future home I will post them right away !!
with that said, i will finish for today.
I am so excited about this blog! even if no one reads it !!! i just like writing my thoughts down
and sharing various photos !!
enjoy
love love loveeeeee
