TIME OF MY LIFE!!!!

Over Spring break I and nine other girls on my soccer team went to South Padre, Texas.  TIME OF MY LIFE!!!  We took two cars and one group left on Thursday and the other group left on Friday.  I was in the group that left on Thursday evening drove six hours to our first stop, Burleson, Texas.  Burleson is home to one of the girls in our group.  We arrived at 3am, woke up and she showed us around her town.  That day we drove another two hours to Austin, Texas.  We visited her friends at the University of Texas.  Very big change for us from Missouri Southern.  We experienced fraternity and sorority houses.  There was definitely a lot more school pride here and it was a great time.  The next day we drove another two hours to San Antonio, Texas where a girl that graduated on our team last year lives.  This is where we met up with the second group that left on Friday.  All together again, at last.  That night we all went to a 2-stepping bar that blew buffalo run out of the water.  We had already had so much fun and we had not even made it to Padre yet.

Sunday morning we woke up and started on the last leg of our trip to SOUTH PADRE!!! This drive was five hour.  We stopped and got groceries and the essentials and checked into our hotel around 5pm.  Our hotel was right on coca-cola beach, which is where all the performances were located.  We could not have picked a better spot!!  That night we went to a place called Louie’s.  I have never seen so many people packed into one place before.

Monday morning our team woke up went on a run together and then headed to the beach.  Our basic routine for the next three days was wake up at nine, run, eat, beach until five, shower, nap for an hour, get ready, out for the night.  On the very last day I and three other girls went jetskiing! I was very sore that night from being thrown off of it over ten times. 

Wednesday night we all stayed up all night making friends and living the last night to the fullest.  We met and hung out with Syrus from the real world Boston.  We definitely went out with a bang. 

Thursday morning we were exhausted and started our seventeen hour drive back home.   We got home at 5am Friday morning where I went to work for six hours, went home slept, woke up and worked another ten hour day.  No matter how tired I was I still caught myself smiling from my trip.  Well worth it.

We have been depressed ever since.  South Padre with my best friends has been the best time of my life.  There was never a bad moment or any disappointments.  No arguing or anything.  I would not change one part of that trip for a second.  I could write on here forever all of the stories and everything that happened but I may just spread this trip out into three different blogs.  Ha I hope everyone enjoyed their spring break as well!!
