Road Trip!!!! Have you ever see one of those movies where the valley girl screams ROAD TRIP!!! AAAHHH!!!! And Jumps up and down. Well if you can't picture it watch Legally Blond. Anyway, I decided to do a road trip my self. It was not really planned. I just told myself one day that I would go. I knew that I wanted to go to the beach after I heard how good a time my aunt and uncle had at destin, Florida. I decided that I didn't want to go to Galveston because it was just too played out and I wanted to go somewhere different. I decided to try Madagorda beach. I told a couple of people at work and they made such a big deal out of the whole thing. "Oh be careful since your going by yourself." "Why don't you go to Galveston it takes less time". I was thinking give it a rest. Jeeze people! Anyway, when my uncle found out that I was going to the beach he let me use his 4 wheel drive jeep. I was so glad that it was 4 wheel drive but I will tell you why later.
So it took me 2 and a half hours to go there. It didn't seem like a long time driving and I got to see some of the scenery.
After a while of country side I came upon a chemical plant. It was odd and just thought I share it with you.
There where also little towns that I passed that were so cool. I wanted to get out and walk around a bit but I had to focus and keep on to the beach.
Finally when I made it to the beach it was great. When I first arrived I went over the hill and paid to get in. When I went into the sand to drive down the beach......I GOT STUCK IN THE SAND!!!! I tried to spin it frontwards and backwards. Turning the wheel. NOTHING HELPED!! I sat there trying to think if I was going to get out of the jeep and get someone. And just when I was about to cry I looked down and saw 2W and 4W. Light bulb!!! Duh! So I took a chance and switched it to 4W and then the jeep popped out like it finally woke up from a sleep and I was on my way down the beach. Now one thing that everyone should know is that it is very hard to drive on the sand. So when I got to an area that was clear I set up "camp"
The beach was a little bit nicer that Galveston and the water felt really good. Not hot but not cold. The waves were a good size and I loved it. You know I thought the water was going to be a nice green but I should have know it wasn't going to be but oh well.
I also brought Rocky with me. He loved it but was scared of the waves at first. I had to put him on a leach to get him out in the water far enough.
Remember what I told you about not being crowded, well here is what I mean... lot of room!!
Lots of shells!!
One thing that Rocky didn't like was the sand on his face. After all that running around he got it all over his face and body. Was very funny.
After all of the fun it was time to go home and rest for the remainder of the day. Rocky was raring to go.
