So after almost four months of being barely connected, I am not the social media queen. Let me just lay this out for you... I have texting, twitter, facebook, instagram, tumblr, CollegeFashionista, blogspot, pinterest, annnnddd I think that's it. I have to have a bunch of those for CollegeFashionista but what a change from not even a month ago.
This winter break has been road trip mania.
First, a couple days after Christmas, my family (there's six of us) and my cousins (there's six of them) rented an RV to drive up to NEW JERSEY. Yes, this actually happened. As we hit the curb and the thing almost flipped over while we were pulling out of my driveway at 5 in the morning I couldn't help but think how I went from traveling all over Europe to being crammed in an RV like the Griswalds.
With the exception of the storage door flying open on 95 and all of our beer and coolers tumbling into oncoming traffic, and slamming into a pole at the gas station on the way home, it was pretty uneventful. And the space on the RV made the 10 hour trip go by much faster. And of course, Jersey was fun and being with my fam bam was really nice.
That might have sounded sarcastic, but I'm actually serious.

Road trip number two was to New Orleans for the Sugar Bowl. After extreme family bonding and lotssss of car time, I was a little skeptical about getting back in the car for 14 hours there and 14 hours back within three days. BUT I was wrong. I had such a great time and absolutely loveee nola. Need to back. Asap. Actually right now would be great.
We left at 4:30 am on Jan 2nd. And of course, we broke down at 6:15. Of course. Typicalities my friends, typicalities. We hung out at a sheets for an hour and a half, I won 20 bucks in the lottery, and became best friends with Kathy who works the cash register. Could have been worse.
When we finally arrived in Nola it was great. Ate crawfish, beignets, and pralines, listened to live music, ran along the river, went to the SUGAR BOWL and sat in amazing seats (casual), and totally
As you can see, I clearly had a horrible time.
Finally, road trip number three wrapped up today. This one was only three hours, such a baby, in infant practically. We went down last night and came back this afternoon. My dad, brother and I ran a half marathon there this morning. And guess what? I didn't die and actually came in third in my age group. I was so worried I was going to be horrible. I mean I've been training and running but there's just been a lot going on. I don't think I'm going to be able to walk tomorrow but no worries. Why would I want to walk anyways? And my dad and brother did AWESOME.
After all of the places I've been lately I still think Ocean Isle Beach is one of the prettiest places in the world. I love it there. It's so peaceful and natural.
