Although the road trip wasn’t as exhausting as I thought it would be, it was really nice to stay in one place for 10 days, in particular because it was a very pretty place. Gulf Breeze and Pensacola are lovely beach towns near the Gulf of Mexico, which means gorgeous beaches and warm water :) It was really a holiday to relax and to hang out with Paul’s parents. Some highlights:

- every meal (great cooking by Paul’s parents and by friends of theirs, lunches made out of the previous night’s delicious leftovers, cute restaurants and bushwackers)
- going to the beach
- jet-skiing
- shopping
- just sitting and reading a book
- meeting Paul’s friends
- private tennis lessons from Paul (outdoor tennis courts are free in Florida, we should have something like that in the Netherlands!)

It was really a shame we had to leave after 10 days, I could have easily spent another 10 days relaxing in the sun….but coming back to the Netherlands was good too, although I’m a bit jealous of my sister because she has a much better tan than I have, and that’s even before she was going to Spain!
