Throwback to the Good Ol' Days

Sorry for the delay in updating... here goes!

Two weekends ago, Kellyn, Jill, Erin, and I all headed to Orlando to visit Liz! What a blast!! We were so ready to see each other and by Friday night we were finally all in town. We spent most of the weekend catching up with each other, hearing about those we'd lost touch with and just enjoyed the company of old friends. Liz was a great host and had tons planned for us. We grabbed dinner Friday night, made the necessary stop for late night ice cream, then headed back to Liz's to hang out. Saturday was our day full of sun! We headed to Cocoa Beach first thing in hopes of catching the prime sun rays. For the most part the sun was shining and we all got a little color. However, our bronzed bodies didn't come free and clear. After several hours of persevering through overcast clouds and a few sprinkles here and there - our afternoon got a little more exciting! It started to drizzle, then sprinkle, which turned into light rain, and then... the monsoon hit! Before we knew it the bottom dropped out of the sky and we were scrambling to grab all our belongings and make it to the car before we got SOAKED. Laughing the entire time, the five of us took off running from the beach and headed toward the car. Liz and Jill found some cover underneath an awning while Kellyn and Erin brought up the rear with the rest of our stuff. I was somewhere in the middle, keeping my eyes on both sets of girls. I caught up with Liz and Jill then turned around to signal Kellyn and Erin to our location when all of the sudden - they were gone! They were heading to the car about 100 yards away! So we grabbed all our stuff, again, and jetted back into the rain to meet up with them at the car. We finally all piled inside and headed back home, soaking wet and all! It really was a wonderful afternoon and the experience was priceless! Saturday night we grabbed another delicious dinner, had some more hangout time, and then we all headed back home on Sunday. It was so good to see old friends and it definitely makes me miss the good old days of college! Hopefully we can do this again soon girls!
