Spring Break!

Hey readers,
back home in Canada from my march break, or spring break in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina! It seems every other year we I go with my family to have a good time and to relax. Only this time, we had more family with us! Not only did my mom, dad, brother and sister come, but a few of my inlaws came too! My mother and father in law came, and Ryan's brother Tommy came with his wife Kelsey! And my aunt and uncle came with their 3 kids too! We left at 5 am, woke up late, and drove down with Tommy and Kelsey. We onlt drove to Raliegh, North Carolina, to have a break from driving and some much needed sleep! The second we all got there, the rents all went to the bar and had some drinks, the kids fell sound asleep!

When we arrived, we had instant sun, and great weather that would stay the whole week! We tanned and went to dinner at Pizza Hut, I love Pizza Hut! Monday was a fun day, we went out on the beach and walked to a pier, found sharkteeth and went shopping a bit, then tanned. Tuesday, we went to the beach and tanned, went shopping at Target, and I WOO'd! We also played beach volleyball in the morning, Team Campbell, vs Team Babcock. We lost! But it's all good, it was still fun! We also went to a huge shopping centre, and we went ape shit shopping. There was tns of athletic clothing outlets, and they all had sales, so being the athletic couple we are, we bought a ton of new stuff! It was fun. (I think you should know that I tanned for hours every day!) I also saw a few of my volleyball friends down there, it was weird to see them off the court and in warm clothing, while we were in shorts and t's! We also went bowling at the hotel, which I found out I'm better at 10 pin, I suck at 5 pin haha!

The next day, I woke up and I was pissed off, let me tell you. I had the shittiest sleep. So I go on Twitter and see I have a DM, I check and it was Donnie Wahlberg! I was so freaking happy he replied. After my celebration dance, and telling everyone, I showered, came out and checked my followers. Sure enough, he had followed me just as I went to bed! It made my vacation! So we went to one of our fave places to go in Myrtle Beach, The Ripley's Aquarium! It's always neat to go to it, even though nothings changed. We also walked around the boardwalk for a bit too. And had Ben&Jerry's icecream! My mom and mother in law made a great dinner for us all in our suite, and we all enjoyed ourselves.

Thursday, we went on a walk around town, and tanned all afternoon. Great food and great bonding. And since it was also St. Patty's day, the streets were nuts! And everything was on sale, and cheap, so the alcohol was a flowing! We went mini putting that afternoon, again, family vs. family. My dad won top score, as always. My sister was always bugging to go to an International House of Pancakes, and we finally went to one. She was so happy! Now, when you go to an IHOP, you should get pancakes, that's why 'pancakes' are in the name! My sister and I were the only ones who listened, and we ate beautifully, the rest who didn't, had a bad meal. So lesson learned. I was on a sugar high, and the buzz was kicking in. I ended up yelling 'Twinkle' down the halls of my hotel. It was a great night!

Friday, our last day. I personally was devistated! It was beautiful weather, we saw dolphins up close, it was a blast! So we checked out of the suite-we always get upgraded for some reason, and chilled by the pool until 1:30. We went shopping for a shirt really quickly, and said goodbye to the ocean. We ended up driving to Greensboro, NC to stay the night. The drive was about 5 hours, and we were so tired. During my tirn of the drive, I blared Green Day, and got coments from my family how they could hear my music. Who cares? The hotel was adorable! And the beds were comfy!

Saturday morning was even more depressing! We had a good sleep, and wanted to continue, but we had a 12 hour drive ahead! We left late, again, at 8, and drove! At 2, we stopped in Pittsburgh at a Pondersoa. A little steak in the afternoon couldn't hurt anybody. It actually did! My parents and inlaws got food poisening. But the rest were fine. When we crossed over the boarder, we were kinda sad, and cold. It was heartbreaking that we had to leave. And you know when your in the States you always crave Tim Hortons, but when your in Canada you don't. I still haven't gotten my Timmies fill yet! It's the last and first thing you do before/after the boarder.

The vacation was fun and we had some good laughs. Like, I ripped my pants 3 times, teased with my sister because of these HUGE granny panties, they coulda been a parachute! We saw some heavily obiest people, and were shocked at that, and that you could get a 50 or 100 pack of McNuggets at McDonalds! I also tripped over a 'Caution Wet Floor' sign. Also, on the way home yesterday, I went in the bathroom at a rest stop and couldn't find the toilet paper thing. I seriously can't find it, so I come out laughing, trying to get my sister or mom to help me find it. All I could say was, "Tell me I'm not stupid," and they were like what. So I blurt it out that I couldnt find it, so at age 25, my mom had to come in the stall and show me where it was! Under a box tin! I wasn't embarassed, just felt stupid that I couldn't find it! I swear you woulda thought I was high!

So that was my vacation, I can't wait until my next. Going to Mexico for 2 days to do a press thing, then I go to LA for a couple of days! I'll definatly be blogging then! Hope everyone had a great time on their break! But now, I gotta get my tanned butt to the store to go shopping for some healthy food, all I had was junk. Thanks for reading!
xoxo,
Britt! :)
