48 hour vacation to Florida

My family is nothing if not spur of the moment. I can remember when I was little, we would pack for a trip and not decide where we were going until we got in the car. When we went on a month-long trip to Europe, we didn't make hotel reservations and picked where we would stay when we arrived at our destination... and we had the BEST hotel rooms and apartments!

In the family tradition, we decided on Sunday that a family vacation was in order. Tuesday found us at a great hotel, right on the beach in Pensacola, FL. We are definitely not beach people (as evidence, I went to Jamaica and didn't get in the water once) but this trip was amazing. 48 hours is just the right amount of time to spend at the beach!

Now I'm back in B'ham making the final countdown to August 4th. I still feel like I have lots of things to do before school starts, but the first week is mostly orientation so I guess I don't have to freak out just yet.

Listen to Needtobreathe's album "The Heat". You'll thank me later.
