So I know that this is about my first vacation and almost being twenty years old your kind of thinking like wow that sucks. Well this isn't really my first vacation but my first vacation going without my parents and not only that but with my boyfriend. Now my parents have been so strict on me since I was younger and my freshman year of highschool is when I met my boyfriend. Yea highschool sweet hearts, how cute, but that isn't my story, my story is how amazing it was being in florida for about five days.

Now I have only been on a plane once in my life and it was about six years ago and we had to get on two different planes. Oh jeez it was a hassle and the worst part about flying was my ears popping. It was terrible. Something that I realized is that a lot of travelers are always in a hurry and they could be so rude. We were in line for the boarding of the plane and this guy cut me off, might as well have knocked me over, and you know what happened, I got stuck sitting next time him. So yea people are really crazy at the airport.

Another thing about airports is the security part. You think if you were traveling you would make that part easy on your self but no I made it so difficult and it was even worse when your holding people up. I had to take out all my electronics and my metal stuff, I will know for next time.

So finally getting to Florida at about 10 at night, I was exhausted. My boyfriend, John, and I stayed at his grandma's house in West Palm Beach. It was just gorgeous, her house was right across the street from the ocean. like literally. what I love the most was the huge pier that went out far into the ocean. John took me out there everyday, because I was so determined to see a pelican or hopefully a shark. Luckily I was able to see both! The funny thing was that a fisherman had caught the shark, it was pretty big. There were always a ton of people out there fishing. Also, I saw a lot of people wind surfing, which looked so cool.

We walked along the beach. we never really went swimming in the ocean because my boyfriend complains that it is to cold. But luckily the complex had a nice pool we went swimming in alot. When I was laying out I was able to realize what a difference it is having florida sun on you compared to illinois sun. It was so hot! We walked to this turtle lodge. which was really cool and i was able to see these huge sea turtles. This place takes in unhealthy turtles and hurt ones; they care for them until there ready to go back in the ocean. They were beautiful.

Everything was just gorgeous out there, most of all the sunrise over the ocean was amazing. Just beautiful. The trip was so nice, I really did not want to come back home. It was quite the experience and it makes me want to start planning the next trip!
