Road Trippin Home

It's been a while...I am so bad at this blogging thing. Jon and I came back to the west. We both just felt like it was the right thing to do. Honestly, I really didn't like Florida all that much. Don't get me wrong, it was nice to be able to sit in front of the pool in the beginning of May, but then the rainy season hit. It wasn't the kind of rain that we are used to either. This was stuff where all of a sudden the sky would turn black and buckets of water would fall from the sky. One time it started hailing so bad that I thought my car was going to get dented.
Things just weren't that awesome. We loved the people we were with, but personally for us, it was a better decision to come home. We decided to leave the rain behind and take a week long road trip.
Some of the awesomeness of the week included driving along the gulf side of Florida and stopping at a po-dunk aquarium, seeing an aligator, and camping at a state park on St. George island where we almost got struck by lightening on the beach...(not really, but it sure seemed like it).

We stopped at a bbq joint called The Shed...the name says it all. It was seriously the best bbq I have ever had. We fullfilled one of my childhood dreams and went to a waterpark called Schlitterbaun in Texas. In New Mexico, we stayed at the Boyscout camp called Philmont and I learned that hiking isn't all that bad (Jon was pretty excited).
It was one of the most amazing weeks ever! It was seriously like the road trips you see in the movies that you only wish you could go on. We had so much fun, just the two of us. We had our disagreements, mostly over the GPS, but we made it home in one piece, and still are just as in love and when we started, if not more.
