Well the last couple of weeks have been really pretty good. I flew home to Detroit to visit my family on October 1st. It was really good to see my parents and my sister and my friends and of course, my kitties again. It was super cold though, didn't really enjoy that part of it.
I was there for about four days. On Oct 5th me and my sister drove 13 hours to Groton, Connecticut to her new apartment that she is now sharing with her fiance Brett. It's not bad...I still like my apartment wayyyyy more but they have a fireplace and a washing machine so it's alright. Luckily they are on the first floor so moving all the stuff inside wasn't as painful as I thought it might be. It sucked though, 2 nights sleeping on an air mattress. Chris arrived the following day around 3, and the four of us went out to dinner and crashed early that night so we could all get an early start the next morning.
Chris and I left Connecticut around 5:30 on Wednesday morning and drove 10 hours to Virginia Beach, VA. We stayed at an incredible hotel, Springhill Suites by Marriott. I wasn't expecting it to be awesome but it was. It was one of the best hotels i've ever stayed at. The best part about it was our oceanfront room directly on the atlantic ocean. it was AMAZING, especially at night you could hear the waves crashing on the shore and in the morning the sunrise was incredible. We were going to stay a second night but I looked at the weather forecast and it was saying that the following day was going to be 70 degrees there and that seemed a bit chilly to me and I wanted to enjoy the ocean so we decided to move onward. So we drove six more hours to Myrtle Beach, SC and stayed at a full service Marriott Resort & Spa. INCREDIBLE HOTEL!!! Just beautiful. Our room wasn't oceanfront this time, but the hotel is situated right on the beach so from the room we did have a small view of the ocean which was cool! We spent some time on the beach and had an amazing time. tried to get another night there but they were fully booked so we booked a night at the Marriott at Hilton Head Island which is about 5 hours away from Myrtle Beach, right at the border of Georgia. Wow..it was beautiful. trees and bushes and flowers surrounding the front entrance all the way up to the hotel and on the opposite side was oceanfront. our room was definitely an ocean view but with some trees in the way so it was technically a standard view. if we had been up a floor or two it would have been amazing. so we spent another day at the beach, hit the hay early and got home yesterday around 3PM. even though the vacation was incredible and super fun, it feels so good to be home again, in my own bed.
and that's basically all that's been up lately. just living the dream, you know. har. i kid. i really hate that i have no money now, but what can you do? Hopefully i won't be struggling too bad trying to make rent and my car payment and whatever for November.
by the way, whats UP with these record high temperatures? it was like 95 degrees today...mid October. After being in Michigan however, i'd rather be hot than cold. :o)
