We went to Florida for a mini get-away this summer! We needed this trip to unwind after a busy Spring semester and before an exciting Summer kicks off!
Day 1: May 9, 2015; When we reached Fort Lauderdale from the Airport, we decided to spend the rest of the day exploring the area. This wonderful view is only 3 mins away from our hotel!
Day 2: May 10, 2015; We woke up early to watch the sunrise. It was breathtaking! I tried to use timelapse but I ran out of memory...what a bummer! Anyway, we explored Miami for a day and we bought some souvenirs and of course, took lots of pictures! We stayed at the beach eating the biggest pizza i have ever seen in my entire life while reading Paper Towns. This was the day when I got toasted by the sun! But oh well, it is always better than wearing a bunch of clothes during winter in Ohio!
Day 3: May 11, 2015; We explored Las Olas which is a popular place in Fort Lauderdale. We went Parasailing and Jungle Cruise tour! Parasailing was amazing! I was afraid at first because, shame on me, I do not know how to swim! But it was a 15 minute worth of heaven on earth flying!! I cannot wait to do skydiving! (That, doesn't require any swimming skills either ;) After Parasailing we went on a boat tour to see million dollars worth of vacation houses. It made me want to have my own place there as well in the future but it is indeed expensive! But we'll see what the future holds! After that, we ate at the Bubba Gump Shrimp Co. I have not seen the Forrest Gump when we ate there last week so I was not aware what was going on. I just finished watching the movie today, yay to me! Ahehe. I had my first mojito with a lovely view of the beach. It was a great day!
Day 4: May 12, 2015; We explored the area up north from our place and we found Pompano Beach! I wanted to ride a bicycle in so long so I am pretty pumped for this day. It took us an hour exploring while riding our bikes! It was hot so I got toasted even more by the sun. But it's worth it when we reached our destination!
We went to Las Olas Boulevard for our one last dinner in Florida for the summer and bought some chocolates from the Hoffman's Chocolates, and of course, take more pictures. There won't be enough pictures!

Four days flew by fast just like Spring semester! I cannot believe that I am now an upperclassman! Where did the time go? I was just a freshman a second ago and now, I only have 4 semesters left before I get my degree!
Oh well, this is just a reminder that life is short, so live the life you want to tell your children about. For me, I would like to travel as much as possible while I am young and able. I cannot wait to post more travel updates and share these experiences with family and friends! Here's to a great four day mini vacation and to kick-off an exciting and interesting summer 2015!!!
