I'm Back....

... from Myrtle Beach. Our teams did well. Junior placed 3rd out of 4 and Seniors placed 7th out of 12. Not great, but not bad. For the five days that we were there, we didn't get a single chance to lay out in the sun, or swim in the ocean. Our hotel was even ocean side. So every morning, we walked out the door of our luxury suite and walked past the ocean, which we were only about 200 yards from, and got in our car and drove to the competition. Where we were inside all day, everyday. It was sad, but still fun. I did get to be in the ocean for a little bit, but it was at about 9 at night, so the water was a little chilly. I had never been in an ocean before, so one of the guys that went with us felt it necessary to drop my entire body in the water at one time. I got him back. And then he dumped his beer on my head. That sucked. So to rinse me off, he threw me in the pool. I was wet. I was cold too. And salty. The highpoint of the trip was the free alcohol night. Yeah... that's right. The company that was in charge of the cheerleading competition rented out the VIP room of one of the local clubs and gave us an open bar. That was nice of them. The lowpoint? The ride home. I drove for 14 hours! I wanted to die when we finally made it home. I was driving as fast as a possible could and my plan if I got pulled over was to turn off the car and act like I was asleep. And the plan probably would have worked because in the time it would have taken the officer to walk to my window, I could have fallen asleep. So that's my trip, in a very jumbled review.
