Spring Break: Day Four: Chillin’ Out, Maxin’, Relaxin’ and Coolin’
We got up at about 1 o’clock today. I had a slight hangover, but not too bad. There was a lot of laziness this morning on my part. Eventually, we got our shit together and made an awesome breakfast of brats and chips. Truly a breakfast of champions.
After a while, we went outside and played some shuffleboard. Surprisingly, it’s free. Ryan and I faced off against Cole and Zachar in two rounds. Ryan and I won both, but they were close games.
Chris, Cole and Ryan prepare for another round of shuffleboard.
Cole taking a turn. Also, this picture highlights an important part of the trip. I was constantly wondering whether girls i was looking at were legal. Then we went down to the beach. There are some ridiculously hot girls down there. We played in the water for a while, then laid out in the sun. When the sun had almost set, we walked down the shore to a pier, tackled some waves and walked back.
I just think this is a great picture of Zachar.
Perhaps not the most flatering picture of me, but i still like it.
The ocean is a beautiful thing.
Indeed, the world is beautiful.
Now we’re taking showers. We’re going to get seafood tonight and hopefully play some minigolf, although we have yet to find a minigolf place. But I’m sure that’ll be remedied.
1:10 am: “You guys don’t like Five For Fighting?”
So, we went to dinner and then came back to the hotel and did nothing, since we were all inexplicably exhausted.
At dinner, I had a whole Florida lobster. It was hella good. Chris was satisfied with his meal, but I think that Cole and Ryan were disappointed. We also got our appetizers (conch fritters) after the main course. Don’t ask. I figured it was good Katherine wasn't around, or she would have made us tip 40%, even though the guy totally fucked up.
After dinner, we came home and played some poker. Although we wanted to go play mini golf, we didn’t because we couldn’t find any mini golf places in the area. We’ll try again later. Still, i got a fucking royal flush (the third one i've ever gotten).
Although God has seen it fit to make women hate me, He has also seen it fit to bless me with three lifetime royal flushes. I've made a total of about $5 on my royal flushes. I think God screwed me.
In any event, we only played poker for about an hour because I could literally not stay awake. This was at about 9:30. Eventually, we started watching tv. We started out by watching poker while playing poker – very surreal. There was a player on there named Mimi Tran, and Zachar invented a nice little song about her, the lyrics to which were something like “I am Mimi Tran, I like rice.” We settled on 50 First Dates, which was an alright movie. Then we started watching an informercial for the Total Gym hosted by Zachar’s idol, Chuck Norris. We watched that for way too long before watching an awesome (and horribly disturbing) episode of Law and Order: SVU.
While we were watching TV, some commercial came on that used a Five For Fighting song, and I commented on how much they sucked. To which Zachar replied with “You guys don’t like Five For Fighting?” No, I responded, I didn’t. Then I said something like “That’s like saying ‘You guys don’t like Hitler?’” Apparently, this was not an exact analogy. Everyone reminded me that Five For Fighting, after all, has not invaded any countries. Sure, I say, but they killed music.
In any event, today was a very lazy sort of a day, but a good one. I spent very little money, relatively speaking. The covert cooking is going well.
Tomorrow, we’re going to Ft. Meyers to see Cole’s grandparents and meet up with Kristen, Ruhee and Erica. I think it’ll be fun.
