So…Easter 2010. I’m still dating the same girl so this meant it was time to do a vacation trip down to see her family. Along with her immediate family, her Aunt, Uncle, cousin, and his wife would be renting a couple of places on the beach. Lindsay’s brother Kevin drove down to Gainesville on Friday morning and we all hit the road…oh…I can’t forget Kevin’s dog Stella. During the drive, we hit tons of traffic, Lindsay hit another curb, and Kevin and I relished making fun of Lindsay and subjecting her to talk about sports and business. Friday was uneventful overall as Tim, Gayle, Eric, and Toni were flying in late that night.

Saturday morning we all work up and headed to the beach in Fort Meyers. I had to stop and pick up a new bathing suit and apart from forgetting to put suntan lotion on my legs and burning the crap out of them, I had a good couple of hours on the beach. Everyone spent the evening eating and watching the Final Four games on Saturday night.

On Sunday, Lindsay, her Mom, two brothers and I headed to the outlet malls. I have to admit, I’m still highly amused to be running around with two 6’8″ guys. I know we all look extremely tall together but the focus is on them. Kevin is built similar to me and Adam is pretty damn big at about 275. The guys were looking for golf shoes as they were hitting the links early the next morning. After some shopping, we hit an Asian restaurant together and then back to the beach. I was exhausted and my legs were burnt from the day before so I ended up taking a 2 hour nap and went outside again late in the afternoon where the crew had built a drip/sand castle.

For dinner the group of us all went out to a local pizza place and did a fair job of demolishing 6 large pizzas…I know I put down 5 big slices. Had a great time and soon enough it was back to the house for bed.

Monday came and we all headed home early in the afternoon. I have to admit I really enjoyed this trip as I got to spend individual time with both of Lindsay’s brothers and learn a bit more about them. I think they’ve just assumed something is wrong with me to spend this long with their sister and assume they might as well be nice to me as I’m apparently handicapped to some extent for doing so! I’m looking forward to the next trip.
