Wildwood 2011

I'M HOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Saturday morning, my dad and Josh and I all left for Wildwood, NJ for a vacation!!! (Sanya joined us Sunday afternoon) This was HUGE cause my family doesn't do vacations...like we've gone to Ledgebrook a couple times, but that's been more like camping than a legit vacation...and we've NEVER done the beach vacation. So we were looking forward to this for a LONG TIME.

And it didn't disappoint. :) It was a GREAT week down there!

Saturday we moved all our stuff into the condo we rented, walked down the Boardwalk (LONG WALK...we did a lot of walking the past week, haha), played some games in the arcade, then went and watched Richard (son of a friend...he's my age) play soccer on the beach with his team. I guess there's this huge "Beach Blast" thing that happens down there each year...I DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT IT! Haha...but it was fun watching the game. And we got to meet Kevin, a friend of Richard's.

Sidenote: Every single time we saw Kevin (which was only like...three times), I had SUCH a difficult time saying his name normally...have any of you ever seen 3-2-1 Penguins? Cause if you have, you know where I'm going with this...on that show, there's a penguin named Kevin, except they don't say it normal like...it's hard to explain, but the emphasis is more on the VIN...it just sounds really goofy, and whenever I think Kevin, that's the only way I hear it in my head. But I tried very hard to say his name normally. :P

ANYWHO. We then went to the beach a little...but then decided to go back to their hotel and went in the jacuzzi there. :)

And I just realized that this post could get ridiculously long going over every single detail...so I'll only hit the really memorable stuff:

• I barely tanned (the 50 spf sunscreen really worked...*sniffle*)
• One time I feel asleep on our blankets at the beach, and dad built a moat around me so when I woke up there was this trench around the perimeter of the blankets and it FREAKED ME OUT
• We built a very complex sandcastle
• A guy came up to me and asked me to talk to his friend cause the friend was too shy to come up to me himself
• I ate very yummy food
• Got freckles on my nose!
• Went mini-golfing (AND I WAS BEAST)
• Played lots of games at the condo
• Saw the sunrise at 5:30 in the morning...it was phenomenal
• Pulled into the WaWa parking lot blasting a Christian song and jamming out like no other (everyone in the car in the space next to us cheered when we got out)
• Had a ridiculously fun time playing in the waves every single day

Picture time! :) (with captions at the bottom)


Me and Josh...I had sunken into the sand so when he stood next to me he was so much taller than me. ;D


The moat dad built around me...with me sleeping and attempting to tan. :P


Me and my bro and sista! (Notice the red, white, and blue...haha!)


The morning of the sunrise.
