Sunny days

Things are beginning to heat up here in sunny Florida. Its nice to finally feel the suns hot rays, normally I don't enjoy standing out in the sun but these last cold harsh days have finally taken a toll on me! On my way to the gym I heard an old familiar sound that brightened my day completely... SEAGULLS!!!

I absolutely love the sound those birds make, they bring back so many fun memories of going to the beach with my family. For one week every spring/summer we would get ready for our 2 hour drive to the beach, Fort fisher to be exact, my sister and I would seriously start preparing a month or two in advance for our "big" vacation. A couple days prior we would begin our yearly spring cleaning to get everyone in the mood. We would also start making salads, sandwiches, and cutting plenty of watermelon for the trip. Once we were in the car and on the road my dad would blast his favorite beach boys CD and that would be the beginning of our  awesome trip!

Now that I only live 30 minutes away I can't wait to have my own little vacation to the beach while blasting some good ole beach boys hits ;)
