Vero Beach: Makeup 3/28

Oops, I completely forgot to make a blog for the week before spring break. My bad on that one.

 I'm going to miss Vero Beach; my and my friend's Spring Break destination for 2013. We had had this vacation planned out since the beginning of last summer, and I suppose the excitement went to my head. Vero Beach is a small city on Florida's east coast, about 135 miles north of Miami. We were blessed with good weather for most of the week, only encountering rain once, and thankfully on a day where we could have used a break from the sun.

The first day we arrived at Vero Beach, we unpacked and did what mostly every tourist does- went to the beach. The family that I stayed in their own condo inside what's called "The Kentucky Club," (condominiums filled with Kenucky residents on their vacation) that was within walking distance of a private beach. I was the only one who put on sunscreen, yet I still managed to get burnt behind my ears. Although unbelievably painful, I've learned my lesson. And, even though I'm not much of a pizza fan, the family forced me to try a piece from a local pizzeria. I remember those eight slices fondly.

The week consisted of sleeping, eating and sleeping some more. I also cut my foot open trying my hand at skimboarding, but I did manage to stay on successfully for about four seconds before faceplanting in the sand. I miss Vero so much, and I'm definitely going back next year.
