So, I haven't posted in a while, so I figure it's about time!

Two weekends ago, Allan and I had a small trip to Miami for four days. We had free round trip tickets to anywhere in continental North America, so it ended up being a really cheap trip. The total of the trip including flight/hotel/car rental/food/entertainment/shopping came up to less than $500. We got to Miami Saturday afternoon which was the only time it rained during our trip. We didn't do much Saturday except check in our hotel, do a little shopping and have dinner at the Cheesecake factory. Dinner was really good and they got some big portions (which I like) down in the states. Sunday we took a trip down to South Beach. First thing we did was just head out to the beach and just spend the morning relaxing in the sun. It was really hot out, but it was really nice taking a dip in the ocean. I think it may have been my frist time in the Atlantic. After some fun in the sun we walked up and down Lincoln St which is like the touristy area on South Beach where we had lunch. After that, we took a little walk down to see Miami Ink. We took some pictures out side, but didn't really go inside. Went back to the beach for a little more R&R before getting some slushies at Wet Willies and heading back to our hotel. Went for a little drive and had some dinner. On Monday we got up early for our snorkling adventure. We picked up our snorkling equipment and then headed out to Key Largo where a boat took us out to the ocean to go snorkling. Snorkling was a lot of fun, but it was kind of tricky at the start and I got so much salt water up my nose which really sucked. Snorkling was fun, but I woulda much rather gone scuba diving. I saw a lot of fish, but where we went snorkling it was a little too deep for us to really go to the bottom of the ocean floor. It was still a lot of fun though. Went back to Miami and did a little more shopping and had dinner at Chili's. Honestly, I love Chili's. They're corn on the cob is just drenched in butter and it just tastes so good! Tuesday was the last day of our trip. We checked out of our hotel and went over to the beach one last time. Did a little more shopping, and that was about it, got on the airport and headed back home.

So, beach volleyball season's finally started up! Yesterday was the second beach vball of the year, and so far it's been great! A day at the beach with friends playing beach volleyball, what more could someone ask for. My ankle's still a little sore, but it hasn't slowed me down too much. Yeah, it's just been a lot of fun so far, and looking forward to a lot more Sundays at the beach.

Two weekends from now, Eric and I are gonna be heading out to the East coast. Looking forward to that as well.
