went to the beach today. lol.

i went after church with kate, amanda, and tracy. tracey? tracie? sorry. anyway i definitely think the ride getting there and back was much more entertaining than actually being at the beach haha. kate was driving and there was actually a jam going up there so she accidentally goes off the wrong exit to deltona instead of daytona. we saw a waffle house a Kangaroo gas station...so we get onto I-4 again. heading the wrong way. "yeah i think we're going the wrong way"-amanda. east is beach, west is home! so we get off the next exit. under the exit sign it said "no eastbound re-entry" and i thought hmm wonder what that means. so we turn left towards 17-92 cuz kate saw it said east. we go over this bridge over st. john's river, on the left we see a candy cane striped smokestack and on the right "oh look here's I-4 from this view"-me. lol so we turn around and see another sign that says I-4 so we go there to see the east/west entries. well we pass the west one but where's the east one?? we turn around and this entry is all blocked off... that musta been it. so we drive back towards the candy cane striped smokestack and there were signs to I-4! so we FINALLY get to the east exit... "hey.... isn't that the same waffle house....?" Yes it was! we drove all the way back to that wrong exit! lol.

beach was fun. oh wait first we had the task of finding a spot. we go to bethune beach but it was full and at the end there's some national $5 parkin spot beach. kate said there were nude beaches farther down... eww. anyway we turn around and finally a spot produces in front of us at bethune beach. the same lot. we go a-swimmin. fun! but they went a lil too far for me so i stayed behind where i could feel the ground. then we get out tha water to have our simply soda drinks. amanda and i sunbathe/have a nap while kate and tracy went to find nouns (u kno people, places, things) to take pictures of. then after a few minutes amanda went to go swimming again. then i got bored and went to the shoreline to start building.... my SEA TURTLE! o c'mon u KNEW that was coming. i had to move up twice before the water wouldnt' hit it. i finally finished him! when suddenly a wave went aaaalll the way up and he became a mere outline. *sigh*. then i tried to make Nemo. stupid water kept attacking nemo... finally i forgot the mental picture of him and gave up. tried to make one of those sand sharks... lost my creativity. so i tried a manta ray... boy it was hot... so i resorted to a hole. that's rite, a hole. then the water ruined that too. grr. then i disgruntled-ly started piling sand on top of each other. kate and tracy came back after a while. amanda had built some cool snow i mean sandmen. i spose... tracy built a sea dragon. oh yeah on the shore we'd see these sand dollar size jelly things. and we thought hey jellyfish! dead of course. amanda starts poking them, tracy does the same. eventually we're all handling them. they didn't have tentacles tho. maybe they were jellyfish imposters! anyway they were super cool and maybe we're all high on jellyfish poison. anyway tracy and amanda go swimming again, kate and i go sunbathe. there was this mini football near us this whole time and i said if no one gets it by the time we leave, i'm takin it. well we were leaving and they thought i was kidding. haha oh no no no so now i have this way cool wilson football! unless i forgot it in the car...

on the way back we go to burger king, we play this game called "ghosties" which is really fun. i learned a couple new games to play when people are bored. well we saw that darn I-4 sign again to lead us east this time. we wanted east this time! but we went too far. the gas station gave some funky directions. we end up in a downtown of a city and we were about to go past new york ave when tracy goes "omg we're in new york!" lol kate looks back and down ny ave we see.... an I-4 sign! yaayy!! and we ended up going past that gas station where we got directions, stupid guy haha, and we get on I-4. whew safe. it makes no sense how we could have missed it. the game musta distracted us. amanda said it was me haha. yes, it was ME. it's ALWAYS me. i instigate the illegal acts, i get people lost. actually when i was in the car with ray and nicole i was wondering if i really do instigate things and there were a couple instances where i heard myself as ray was just kidding about doing somethings and i , in the back, going "yeah do it!" lol that's HORRIBLE.

had fun at the beach today, thanks for takin me!
