Spring Break

Well, John still hasn't left to go sailing, which means that wasn't an option. Alex and Brian went to Cape Canaveral, and that sounded really fun, but too far away for just a couple of days. So I ended up going down to Will's parent's house in Columbus Monday.

I got there in the afternoon. We went out to dinner and to watch Robots. It was a really cute movie! Tuesday morning Will took me riding down there. The roads were so nice, I am very envious. There was a very strong headwind on the leg out, so that made me go really slow. We rode about 10 miles out in 50 mins, then came back in about 30. During the last few miles it started raining pretty hard, which was a lot of fun. It reminded me of when I was a kid in florida and would ride around in the rain. After a shower and lunch, we took a nap. We woke up to the Tornado Sirens going off, so we headed downstairs for cover. Turns out it was just a bad thunderstorm, though. After it cleared up, Will, his sister and I went "muddin" in the golf cart :-p I told him visiting there is like going to a different country. We spent the rest of the evening just hanging out, and we went to dinner with his dad and his sister.

Wednesday was the highlight of the week. We went to Callaway Gardens. I had never been there, so I was very excited. I was also really excited that Will didn't mind spending the day there with me. We took our bikes, which was really awesome. We rode from the Discovery Center to the Butterfly Center to the Vegetable Garden to the Chapel. Then we watched a Birds of Prey Presentation (which was awesome... everyone knows how we feel about things that fly) then we went to check out the Horticultural Center. It was one of the most beautiful places that I have ever been. While we were riding next to each other we started talking about how blessed we are that we can do things like that together and both enjoy them. Riding bikes around there was also one of the coolest things ever, and it occurred to me that Will is almost always present during my "coolest things ever." So that must make him the coolest person ever :-)

Then, on a bonus points streak, Will took me to have dinner at Texas Roadhouse, one of my favorite places (there aren't any that are close to Tech or Dunwoody) Then we went back to his house, showered, and watched airplane shows for the rest of the evening. Talk about a perfect day. :-)

Thursday we woke up late and had a lazy day. I headed home in the afternoon. Overall it was my favorite Spring Break, tied with last year's airplane/Ft. Walton trip. I am glad that we ended up doing exactly what we wanted to do. We talked about how some people would call our break "boring," but I think we proved that boring and healthy can actually be wonderful.
