Things to look forward to

I have many things to write about that I'm looking forward to, but as of now, two weeks away from spring break, I will write about what I will be doing. I am going to be spending my spring break this year in Pass Christian, MS and Watercolor, FL- two of most memorable vacation spots. My family owns a property in Pass Christian and I've spent countless weekends and breaks there my whole life. Until Hurricane Katrina, our family had our own house on the property, while the rest of my dad's siblings shared a big house we call "the Marsh house," because of its view of the golden marsh. My grandparent's house, "the Main house" is across the property facing the bayou. Unfortunately, Our house got torn apart by a tornado during the storm, and my grandparents no longer use their own. So now, the three families switch between the "Main house" and the "Marsh house"; there is two families that can stay in the marsh house at the same, while only one family can stay in the main house. This half of the year, our family will be staying in the Main house. The main house is closer to the boats, have a pathway to the swimming pool and tennis court, and have the pond of ducks within our view. I'm looking forward to spending easter here with my cousins here.

I'm looking forward to spending the rest of my break with my best friend, Sasha, and many other New Orleans friends that I have been seeing occasionally throughout the years. I'm hoping the weather is as balmy as last year; It will be nice to lay out on the beach or club pool again with friends. More importantly, I'm hoping that the beach parties are as fun at night. There's always a lot of teenagers at Watercolor and you get to see people everywhere you go and hang out 24/7.  I can't remember a second of spring break last year where we weren't entertained. Everyone rides bikes everywhere and visit the nearby resort, Seaside. Seaside and Watercolor are very similar in set up, just Watercolor's houses are more modern. If you've ever seen the movie, The Truman Show, it was filmed in the perfect world of Seaside. They have the best restaurants there too, one of my favorites being a Grilled Cheese truck that makes my water-mouth just thinking about the three types of cheese fit between two slices of buttery toast. Soooooo good.  We're only staying for three or four days, so I'm gonna try to make the best out of every second!
