The beach was wonderful! I stuffed myself full of seafood
I didnt get to take as many pictures as I wanted because the battery in my camera died and I didn’t have the charger. I did manage to snap a few pics, however.

Our view from the balcony

Andy and Odysseus - the GIANT octopus raft. I bought it pre-inflated and it barely fit into Will’s 4-Runner. We could fit 4 people on it at one time. People would come from across the beach to admire the gigantic octopus

Poor Will, he lost a fight with a shark.

Destin, FL has amazing shopping… a girls’ paradise! I bought 2 Polo shirts (one not pictured), a polka-dotted scarf belt, some new Teva flops, and a cute tank top.

Will also got me a new Build-A-Bear. Meet Bob the Koala. Isn’t my boyfriend a sweetie pie?
hehe
Here’s 3 more pics from the trip: Giant Octopus, Jaws, Fountain.
I OWNED in putt-putt on both nights we played. The first night, I got four hole-in-ones, but I still lost to Alan, the golf pro. The second night, I tied with Alan. It’s funny because most of the time when I putt-putt, I get 9s and 10s on holes because I goof off the whole time
We had a great time on the trip… I wish we could have stayed longer! Will’s condo was perfect. I hope we can go back later this summer.
On a different note, my grades turned out much better than I expected. I received an A- in English — I was VERY excited because I thought I was going to get either a B or a C! I got an A in Greek/Roman Mythology and an A+ in Computer Science. I was disappointed in my Honors Spanish grade, which was a C, because that’s the first C I’ve ever received (and I’m going to work hard to make it my last as well!) I ended up with a ‘Medical Incomplete’ in Philosophy, which will turn into an A+ when I complete the work. The explanation of the incomplete is complicated, so I will save it for a later post.
I’m back at home for 2 weeks on my super-slow dial-up modem, so if I don’t return your comments, that’s why
Summer school begins June 8 … that’s when I’ll head back to Tuscaloosa. Thanks everyone for your comments while I was on vacation - Annie, Brooke, Chette, Christine, Dionne, Jem, Jenny, kir, kitsune, leila, Melissa, Michelle, nagaki, Salome, Sanne, Tina, tuan, & Yajaira.
I’m off to relax at Will’s house for the afternoon… hope everyone has a great day! It’s good to be out of school…
