Spring Break 2007

For spring break this year, my roommates Liz, Kara, and I drove down to Texas to see Kara's mom in Kingsville. We left Saturday morning and worked our way down to South Texas stopping in Dallas first. We must have found the dirtiest, sketchy, low-class motel/inn and stayed there Saturday night/St. Patty's Day. Our motel smelled like rotten sweaty feet and the bed was slanted with cigarette burns in the sheets. The bathroom was dirty with cockroaches crawling all over the floors. We celebrated the holiday at the skankiest Coyote Ugly in America, where we met countless old men who wanted to buy us drinks and talk to us. We tried to make this trip as short as possible so we left early the next morning and headed to Kingsville with a hangover. We stayed in Kingsville until about Wednesday. We went to the beach in Corpus Christi and also stayed a night in South Padre with hundreds of other spring breakers, which made it even more crazy. But, we left with a tan and a citation for having glass bottles on the beach...holy shit, does it look like I ever go to the beach...yea it's not worth paying 500 dollars a bottle for it. We made our way back up to San Antonio Thursday; we also ran into the men's basketball sweet sixteen crowd. We went to a piano bar (met some really odd, creepy old men there as well) and walked around the river walk all night. The next day we drove up to Austin to spend our last night of spring break on the famous 6th Street. It was crazy down there, since there's two universities, there's so many people that they shut this street off...but we went to some bars and ended the night. The next morning we woke up and made the 11 hour drive back to Des Moines. Personally, I never knew how happy I would be to be back in Des Moines...WOW...Probably never again will I feel this way. But, overall the trip was filled with creepy old men, drama.....drama, good weather, and some laughs. It was fun, but I am so glad I am home.
