Beach escape

It's Sunday evening and I'm exhausted. Brittney and I just got back from a weekend getaway to South Padre Island. I love the beach!! We spent Thursday night with her parents in McAllen and then met her sister Amy and Amy's friend Christina at the beach on Friday.

There is something about sitting by the ocean that makes me forget about everything past or future. I think it's because it's so pretty and relaxing and I just want to soak in every minute of it; it helps me just be completely in the present.

We went on a party boat Friday night (not my idea) which was a pretty hilarious experience. One of Amy's friends runs the boat company. As we walked up to the surprisingly small docked boat I wondered how they were going to fit all the people standing in line. Walking onboard, I felt like we were a bunch of Cuban refugees sailing for freedom, but amazingly we all managed to fit.

It was pretty relaxing if you don't count the three hours of BLARING 80s dance music that the onboard DJ played the entire time. Actually he did turn the music off long enough to watch the fireworks which was nice.

Saturday we spent the entire afternoon laying on the beach, which was awesome. I definitely would like to have some sort of beach house/condo someday. It's such an amazing escape. South Padre is really a pretty nice beach. It's no Mexico though.

Here's a photo of Brittney and I during the boat ride. The funny thing about this photo is before I took it I said, "make your best seductive face." Note to self: we REALLY need to work on our seductive faces.
