~ After Honeymoon, we went to the Howl at the Moon dueling piano bar at Channelside with Laura's friend Heather. Mike had to get the big X's on his hands so he was depressed. Awww!
The rest of us had a great time singing, drinking and cursing. Yay for us. I had a lot of fun, but I overindulged and ended up having a similar experience to the one Melvin had after he ate all the cookies...
~ On Friday all I wanted to do was lay around for most of the day. We went to breakfast (well, it was more like lunchtime) at a place called Nikkis where you get really greasy food. I had the biscuit debris, which is, as Laura describes it, "a big pile of crap on a plate." That's true, and I'm sure it's really good when you are capable of eating food.
~ After that I took a nap, and everyone else went to the secret beach. (See Katie's Blog)
~ Next we all (minus Michael) went swimming in the pool at Laura's apartments. We found a crab in the hot tub! Laura and I reminisced about all the pool games we used to play. Also, Laura grew a mustache!
~ That night we headed out to Ybor City, which is basically the party central of Tampa. We had dinner at the Spaghetti Warehouse which is super tasty. An interesting fact about Spaghetti Warehouse: I used to always get green spaghetti there when I was little. I think. Michael ate a giant plate of lasagne. Actually, it kind of reminded me of the biscuit debris, only instead of a big pile of crap on a plate, it was a big pile of Italian crap on a plate. Also, Katie had the brilliant idea of ordering half meat, half cheese ravioli instead of picking just one. Apparently no one had ever tried ordering it that way before because the waitress didn't really know how to handle that request. We all thought it was a great idea though, and very practical! Go Katie! After that we went into a cool shop with lots of imports. Katie got chopsticks! Last stop of the evening was Gameworks, which is like a super arcade! We played a great game of ocean hunter, and I totally cleaned up at ski ball (I got one in the 50,000 hole and then on my next ball i got it in the 100,000 hole! YES!) We also played a horse racing game, and a bowling game, both of which really tired me out.
~ Saturday was Busch Gardens day. We saw lots of great animals and rode lots of fun roller coasters. However, after riding the tiger side of Gwazi I started thinking "Maybe I'm getting too old for this..." It was a sad moment, but I got over it. My favorite animal was the donkey. He was the one that was in those Budwiser commercials a few years ago. I love donkeys! They are the cutest animal!
My favorite roller coaster was the Shiekra, which Laura had me convinced I was terrified of, until I realized that I wasn't just a little bit before we got on. It ended up being the best roller coaster I've ever been on! It takes you way up high and then tips you over so you're looking down at the ground, holds you there for a little bit, and then drops you straight down at a 90 degree angle. (When we were standing in line for a different ride the guy behind us was talking about it and said "Look at that! A 45 degree drop!" Stupid idiot! Too bad he was standing right behind a group of math people, otherwise he might have gotten away with it.)
~After Busch Gardens we went to visit my friend Theresa, who I have known since preschool. She was having a surprise birthday party for one of her dance teachers. It was fun, but we didn't have a lot to talk about with all the dancers. It was really great to see Theresa though!
~ After Theresa's we went out for St. Patrick's Day at World of Beer. It was fun, fun, fun! I had a Blue Moon and a Hoegaerten. They were both super tasty! Laura also had fun catching up with her friend Aaron from highschool. We were up all night and so we were really really tired for our plane ride at 6:45 the next morning. We got back ok though and had a nap at Katie's house before heading back to Waco!
THERE THAT'S MY SPRING BREAK! YAY!!!!!
