Spring Break 2025

When Sean appealed to join his friends for a spring break trip, I lacked enthusiasm. Still, both Bryce and Trevor went on spring break trips for their senior year in high school. They went with friends. Sean wanted me to accompany him, since none of his friends had room in their cars or accommodations. So, I located a cute little inexpensive Vrbo studio apartment. I intended to sleep on the (pictured) loveseat and give Sean the queen bed. 

Our arrival was harried. After many flight delays, we didn't arrive until after 11 p.m. and then the Uber driver could not get us to our accommodation because the roads were blocked for a seafood festival. We ended up walking a block in the rain. The Vrbo did not have the same loveseat. Instead, I spent four nights on this reclining loveseat.

According to my fitness watch, I snagged good sleep every night regardless of an inability to lie flat. The little apartment was adorable and cozy. Our only difficulty was with the set-up for the bathroom - a flat floor with no lip around the shower area to keep water from flooding the whole floor. This we remedied with a towel on the floor outside the shower area.

The seafood festival was fun, but I ate more Mexican food than seafood. Here's the last of 3 bountiful tacos I purchased for $6:

And a photo of a fabulous chicken, spinach, and mushroom quesadilla at a restaurant:

I spent a bit of time enjoying the back patio overlooking an inlet of water. 

For the most part, though, I sat in the little apartment and read. That was fine. Sean had a blast hanging out on the beach with his friends. On the last day, we checked out at 11, walked around, and got seafood. Good thing I saved on the tacos, because his market price fish and chips cost $25. Nothing like fresh fish! (Sorry, no photo.) We took an Uber to the airport around 2, but thanks to bad weather in Indiana, our flight was delayed repeatedly and didn't take off until 9:15 p.m. We learned later that a tornado actually touched down in the neighboring town and took the roof off a few warehouses. John said the sound was ominous. We are grateful to God that none of our tree limbs came down, we didn't lose power, and John arrived safely to pick us up around 11:30 p.m. I'm glad to have had the happy memories of a trip with Sean.
