florida.
some people call it the sunshine state. it even says "Welcome to Florida: The Sunshine State" on the Welcome to Florida road sign. one would assume florida is a beach party waiting to happen, with the sun shining on the state. so obviously, when i approaced chris to see if he wanted to make a roadtrip down to tampa to visit my mom, he agreed. under the belief that it would be sunshiny. to make a long story short, it was rainy. nevertheless, being fun attractive young men, we managed to make a successful adventure out of the trip anyway. the pics:
the first stop on our trip was to Cara who lives in Charlotte, NC. or thats what she said. in reality, she lived in harrisburg. once we arrived to Cara's we got a map out and decided it would be a good time to figure out how to get to florida.
yes! you can see down cara's shirt in this shot.
oh yeah, theres a large rabbit in this picture too. but thats not as important.
Columbia, South Carolina. Getting closer to florida, the skies started getting sunnier and sunnier. we couldnt wait to get there!
i should sue the state of florida for false advertising.
jacksonville, Florida. check out the sky. its beautiful.
tampa. florida. quite possibly the ugliest city in the world. (sidneote: my mom claims chris and i visited all the bad parts of tampa, that it really was a nice city. which i guess in retrospect is true. but when we first went exploring, all we could find were the shady nasty parts)
Officer Jerk:"YOU THINK YOU CAN JUST U-TURN WHEREVER YOU WANT !???
Ike: "..uhhh.."
Officer Jerk: (calls for backup)
Ike: (to Chris) "did i do an illegal u-turn?"
Chris: (to Ike) "no"
Officer Jerk: (walks back to my car) "im gonna cut you a break this time."
Ike: "...uhh... oooo-kay"
Chris: "What the hell was that about?"
yeah. that really actually happened.
i took this picture of the beach because of this hot babe bending over. you can kinda see it here, in the red circle attached to the red line. red lines can be helpful. and by hot babe i mean 12 year old girl.
this is a good picture.
so is this. today i realized how hard it is to write funny captions about sunsets.
driving down the interstate at 92 miles per hour my tire blew up. im telling you this just in case you couldnt tell by the picture.
my poor baby had to be towed because my spare tire doesnt fit on my car. some people say that makes my spare tire useless.
anyway we got back from florida and i was really happy to make it back alive, so i had a Micheal Jackson dance-off at kerry's party on my last party night in Virginia (to move to Canada). so this is me doing the aforementioned dance.
so that my friends, was florida. my break from work during the summer. it was excellent. canada is my next adventure...
