Destination: West Palm Beach, Florida

How the adventure began...
 
On March 6th Carrie and Jenn left Virginia Tech, while Lindsay and I departed from good ole' Fairfax, to make our long way down 95 in route to Jacksonville, Florida.  The trip was loooooooooong and boring.  The trouble, though, did not arise until my car turned onto the Jacsonville exit....
 
The next photo may be disturbing...

The entire exhaust system of my poor Honda Civic

As Lindsay and I were approaching our first destination (spending the night in Jacksonville to split up the long trip to West Palm) my car, which I was told not to take, decided to fall apart.
 
My response:  Uncontrollable laughter
Lindsay's response:  Uncontrollable laughter
 
Step One:  Talk to police officer who stopped by to make sure we were okay
Step Two:  Call Carrie and Jenn, screaming that the car broke down (they  
                   were already at Matt's place--where we were staying the night)
Step Three: Tell Matt that we were stranded and that he needs to pick us up
Step Four:  Call Noreen and leave a crazy message about "our luck"

**(Isn't the bumper sticker that the girls bought my fitting?!?!  hahaha)**
 
......and help arrives!!!!
 
Matt showed up after our desperate phone call and Rick (a nice Florida native) stopped by minutes later.
 
An hour or so later, my exhaust system was removed, put in the back of Matt's jeep, and Lindsay and I drove off.  We may have sounded like a pack of 12 motorcycles, but our spring break had FINALLY begun...
 
 
*Getting the Party Started*

After a fun-filled night out with the Jacksonville boys, we were off to our hotel in West Palm Beach!!!

 
 
Once again, we have a set-back....

Route 95 was at a stand-still for about an hour!!!!  Everyone got out of their cars and walked around.  Of course, Carrie made friends with a trucker who invited us to his place for beer...hahaha, wonderful!

After unpacking we went to a locals bar for dinner and a few drinks...

Every time Jenn ordered a rum and coke she got two free shots of rum...needless to say, Jenn was very HAPPY in the picture below!

We all decided that we needed to add some craziness to our night (and catch up with Jenn...hehe) so we were off to downtown West Palm.

E.R. Bradley's Saloon

Bradley's became our new home while we were in West Palm.  We danced, drank, and mingled with others.  The staff quickly became our friends.  Can't wait to visit again!!!

Another night out!!  Dinner then off to the Monkey Club....
 
Funny Memories of this particular Wednesday evening:
*Asking the valet for change for a $20 so we could make a weak attempt to pay him
*Ummm, was there pole dancing?!?! Hahahaha!!
*Jenn, would you like another vodka tonic?...hehehe
*Coast Guard boys...oh, Lindz, this brings me to "the hot tub"--enough said!

Another delicious dinner before our ONLY NIGHT IN...yes, we had to recover...if we didn't, we may have lost Carrie.  Plus, we were all fighting the russian army, right, Jenn!!!

**BACK TO BRADLEY'S** 
 
We had to redeem a Booty Shakin' Contest Certificate (that I won...no nakedness or anything...hahaha) and Lindz HAD to locate Ross!

I MUST mention that one of my favorites (along with his VT baseball friends) was in West Palm Beach the same time that we were there...Aaron, I LOOOOOVE you!!  For some reason, though, I do not have a picture of all of us....sooooooo, I decided to add one!

  • Yeah well pants are overrated
  • You've heard of cat-nip, she is man-nip
  • Well damnit, is that my bra? Who's am I wearing then?
  • Why does this gift certificate say it's for a booty shakin' contest? We wern't in a booty shakin' contest were we?
  • I licked his neck just to be an ass, all I taste is cologne. i've made a rash decision

You may think this is the end of the spring break pics, but........MORE TO COME very, very soon!!!
