Is there any better way to spend Spring Break other than with your friends at the beach? I don't think so!! :o) I just got back from Myrtle Beach, SC with the Softball Team. We traveled down to South Carolina for the Snowbird Softball Tournament and some relaxing fun in the sun. The trip down was a bit trying but I managed to sleep most of the way. The weather was absolutely beautiful to say the least!! As soon as we arrived at the hotel, it took us a whole of 10 seconds to make our way down to the ocean. :o) I forgot how much I love the beach. We spent a good 2 hours looking for seashells and watching the sun set.

We stayed in an ocean front hotel and had a gorgeous view of the pier and shore. I roomed with my best friends Kayla, Amanda, and Casey. We enjoyed trying out what Myrtle Beach had to offer, especially a restaurant called East of Chicago. It was a pizza buffet that offered various types of pizza...even dessert pizza!! My favorites had to be the vanilla crunch pizza and the brownie pizza. The restaurant was also like a Chuckie Cheese. It had an arcade attached to it. Can you imagine 15 girls ranging from the ages of 18-22 running around an arcade like 6 year olds?? Let me just tell you that it was a great time.

As far as the games went, we performed much better than any of us could have imagined. We even surprised our coaches. We pulled off a big win against Gordon College from Boston. This tournament was our first time out on a real field because ours is still drying out from the winter weather. It felt good to be back out there!!

Aside from a minor sunburn, the trip was awesome and I can't wait to go back. We are planning to stay for a whole week next year!!!

Hope to see you on campus soon!
