I have had a very eventful, long Mardi Gras break. The first 3 or for days were spent in Baton Rouge. I didn't do much of anything except for ride my horse and hang out with some friends. Everything started to pick up the first Monday when my family and I flew to Ft. Lauderdale, Florida.
When we landed in Ft. Lauderdale I didn't know what to think. I was greeted with Palm trees and warm weather and instantly my stress was relieved. When we got to out hotel I was greeted with nice marble floors and large luxurious rooms. Those few days in Ft. Lauderdale mostly consisted of us swimming in a warm pool in a hotel with cranky old people. Not fun.
After 3 nights at the Ritz Carlton in Ft. Lauderdale, my family and I made our way down to the Florida keys. We stayed at Cheeca lodge in Islamorada with some close friends. This place had a more friendly environment for younger people. Although I liked this hotel, the rooms were dated and the pool was cold. often times my brothers and I were wondering around the hotel, or swimming in the ocean. We then got home at 11:00 Sunday and have been trying to get back into our regular schedule.
I like how you are very descriptive of your experiences in this post. your break sounded like fun.
ReplyDeleteI also relate to the "trying to get back into routine". It is hard to do after a long break.
ReplyDeleteCool way to spend Mardi Gras break. Sounds like you had way more fun than me. Good writing and explanations.
