48 hours and counting...

In less than 48 hours from now, you can picture me and 6 of my best friends lounging casually in flip flops and shorts, drinking margaritas on the Mexican beach! I know, I know, you hate me (unless you're going away for Spring Break too), but let me tell you I NEED this vacation. My two awful weeks are FINALLY over, all my midterms are taken, papers written and books read. My vacation is beginning quite nicely as I sit here in Mandi's kitchen watching her prepare us delicious enchiladas (to get in the Mexican state of mind) from scratch, I might add for dinner tonight. Tomorrow I'll drive up to Newton and spend the day with Jill while Mandi's at work and then all 7 of us will reconvene at Chris' house Saturday night since we need to leave for the airport around 2am on Sunday morning (um, ew... I don't think we're planning on going to bed).

I am SO excited for this. If you've been following my blog from the beginning, you know that we booked this vacation back in October. I can't believe it's finally here! Some of our friends are going to Punta Cana in the Domincan Republic and they left last night. Ironically, Mandi and I went to Punta Cana last year for spring break with our friend Erin. It was sooo beautiful there and we celebrated Mandi's 21st in beach style :) That was her birthday present from her family and I was more than happy to be invited along!

Since nothing has been going on in my life worthy of taking pictures (I don't think you'd care to see the 32 page study guide I had for my 7 chapter juvenile delinquency midterm) here are pics from last year's spring break in Punta!

The view of gorgeous Punta Cana from the airplane-- I WAS SO EXCITED!!

Mandi, Erin and me on our beach! The beach we went to had bean bag couches and chairs (you can see one in the background) and those were so clutch all week!

Our apartemente! The balcony with the towels drying on it was ours.

Hahaha one of my favorite pictures from the vacation-- we were very saddened to find out that life does not always in fact take Visa. The Octopus Bar in Punta Cana did not accept our Visa cards. We were less than pleased because that got in the way of pina colada time.

Another great memory-- the website of the apartment boasted "24 hour security and a gated community"... ummm yeah, this chain was the closest thing to a "gated community" we could find. As for 24 hour security, it was more like daytime Spanish-speaking man hanging out by said chain.

Fishie love <><

And then we had a photo shoot on the beach in dresses. Because we can. Erin Kazaz is too cute for words in this picture.

LOVE THIS PHOTO.

This is another all-time great Fishie photo :)

Erin and I at the Hard Rock Cafe celebrating Mandi's 21st!

I can only hope that this year's spring break will be as great as last year's... and I'm sure it will!
