why be flustered and flounder around if you're in florida?
As the month of March trips dangerously close to an end, any Gallaudet student will tell you that they had a blast during their spring break. Usually held during the second week of March, spring break allows us students to go back home, to go to a warm or cold place, or just simply vacate into Washington, DC.
While the majority of Gallaudet freshmen went to Cancun, Mexico or Ft. Lauderdale, Florida, I went to Jensen Beach to visit my grandparents who’ve lived there for the past five years. My parents flew in from Seattle to meet me, and my aunt from Cape Cod flew in as well. So it was a little family reunion, and I enjoyed immensely seeing my grandparents after a two-year hiatus.
I had a great time in Florida, and I’m able to say that I did pretty much a lot during my 8-day stay. I swam in the community pool, I waved in the ocean, I drove down to Key West with the family for one night, I read five books, I attended a spring training baseball game in Vero Beach, and most importantly, I got some wicked tan.
Of course I’m not going to let you guys go without seeing some of the not-so-artistic pictures I snapped last week. So here goes…
Playing volleyball at my grandparent’s housing community in Jensen Beach, Florida. Ah, I already miss the sun illuminating the impossibly blue sky.
Driving on the bridge across the keys en route to Key West. The five-hour drive was full of new sights and I eagerly awaited every bridge so I could ogle at the bluish green water.
My parents and I at the southernmost point in the continental United States. Imagine, that’s only ninety miles away from Cuba!
Me posing next to the entrance sign to Dodgertown’s Holman Stadium where their spring training games are played in Vero Beach, Florida. It was St. Patrick’s Day, and the majority of the spectators wore green with the baseball players wearing green hats and the bases were also green. Fun times.
Overall, my first spring break in college was unforgettable, and I’m already planning for next year’s. Maybe somewhere in the Carribbean?
Until then, see y’all around!
con amistad, tyler
