Because Brinley's school had no Spring Break this year (yup, that's right: NO SPRING BREAK!), I ended up being the only girl on our spring trip this year. Madsen brought a friend (who seems like part of the family), so it was six boys, one girl.There was a little less of my favorite activity, lounging at the pool, and a little more adventure. See for yourself...
I learned a few things on this trip. I learned to ride an ATV -- fast, so I didn't get left behind (and so that my little passenger, who was so disappointed he couldn't drive, wouldn't think I was a "chump"). I learned to (sort of) conquer my fear of heights, for a moment. I learned that teenage girls aren't the only ones that will stay up late, reviewing the happenings of the night with me (but that conversation is top secret!).
I also learned that, although we had an amazing trip and I LOVED being with my boys...I am firmly opposed to "no-spring-break" policies at college. I need a morning-run, pedicure, sit-at-the-pool-reading-People buddy.
I missed you, Brins!
