A collection of different photos from the Road Trip to Florida!
DEPARTURE
And thus begins the tale of an epic Road Trip of four friends bound for a distant place known as Naples... Naples, Florida...
After departing at 4:19 AM, Wednesday, December 28th, and encountering rush hour traffic, torrential rain, gridlock, and "two wheels," we approach our destination...
22 hours later, we arrive at our home for the next 5 days... A spacious two-bedroom mobile home, complete with kitchen, ugly furniture, and a population of ants.
MEET THE CAST
Let's meet the fantasmic four... first, the mastermind and awesomely tanned.. Tracie!
Second, the butter-melter, Melissa!
Next, because ladies go first (I love ya, buddy boy...), Kyle!
And the person who came back the darkest... Me!, Eric
MESSIN' AROUND
In and around the ritzy town of Naples
I already said one mean thing about Kyle, so I'll keep my comment to myself
Uh.. I'd rather not talk about this one..
What a pimp
An even bigger pimp
Mel and Trace.. when you're in Florida.. everything just looks better
"Oh my God... the butter's melted." (Note to self: don't soften butter in a microwave for over 5 minutes...)
I'm sure 4 college kids raiding the nearest Publix for food and stuffing it in the back of a flying Kia isn't something seen everyday in Naples.
HAPPY 20th
The awesomeness of Tracie baked me the best breakfast ever (no, not her pancakes)
Out to dinner at Crayton Cove, where the best part of the meal was the tomato (everything else was very good though, too)
Kyle, with the help of Tracie, gave me the entire first season of Alias on DVD... like the coolest thing ever... Tracie and Mel also gave me something else, but let's forget about that...
HAPPY 2006
How could a year be bad when you start it in Florida?
Trace and Mel
Me and my bro
THE BEACH
Why else would we have gone to Florida for?
80 degree weather.. hot sunny days..
I know.. this is a cool picture.. Kyle's actually reading.. yes, he knows how!
Even without the aid of tanning oil, I managed to get darker, along with Tracie.. Kyle got somewhat darker.. and Melissa got, well, red lol.. we love you, Mel!
Tracie--> I'm tearing...those were really really good times...and Melissa is correct..."the vacation WILL never end in our hearts"
Rachel Chase--> Kyle just THINKS he's a pimp...That picture of him with the rainbow towel frightens me...
I know what Kyle is reading in that picture...Wicked! I loaned it to him to read over break, and he ended up buying me a new one because he said it got all "dirty and torn up"...but later he showed it to me, and I couldn't even tell...haha. That's Kyle for you I guess...
I practically never get tan. It is upsetting. My shoulders, arms, and face tan, but that's about it. When I came back from Switzerland, my shoulders were like 8 times darker than my legs, lol.
