Ok..let's continue the story about spring break
and her the 2nd part begin...
Tuesday March 16th to Saturday March 20th Morning
We left Savannah on Tuesday morning. We took a walk around the town and the town was so historic and gorgeous. I learned that Savannah was the city where Methodist church was found in US. It also has history about Revolutionary War all around the city. I wish we walked a little longer but the Smith kids started to whine "My feet hurts, I wanna go back to the car!", etc, so we hurried up and left Savannah around 10 in the morning to go to Amelia Island, Florida. We arrived there in the afternoon, we went to the beach but it was so cold and windy so we stayed there only for a little while, then we went to the neighborhood swimming pool. I never like to get wet in the cold weather so I decided not to swim, but the Smith girls wanted to swim whether it's cold or not. It was so funny when they touched the water and said, "Oh, the water is not that cold!" so Tennent jumped to the water! And guess what happened after that! She froze to death! Not literally, but the water was really cold so she ran out of the pool and we almost ran home because Tennent was really freezing. We headed to the home where we stay in Florida. it was a house of a friend of my Mom. The family was very nice to give us a place to stay, they rent some movies for us to watch, they let me use the single bed room because I needed privacy and space, they even gave us prizes like green hair and beaded necklace for St Patrick's day, and an Easter bunny stuffed animal which is sooo cute! They took us to the beach several times in the afternoons because they work in the day. It was too cold to swim or sun bathe but all I did was looking for Shark tooth. I heard it's very easy to find shark tooth there but it's not true. There were so many shells so it's hard to tell which one is the real shark tooth and which one is not. But after struggling for several days, I finally found one on Friday, my last day there! The last day there was so perfect, it was sunny but it wasn't hot. It was a little bit High Tide and I wore jeans (I think) but I didn't care that I got wet as long as I found a shark tooth. I was very happy when I found one. I wanted to look for more to give to my sisters and friends back in Indonesia as souvenir but I ran out of time.
Oh anyway beside going to beach, in Florida we went to the downtown to buy the famous fudge and Ice cream, to see the Pier, to take pictures, to buy souvenirs (I got tons of them, some my host fam paid for but some I paid by myself). And we went to Jacksonville Zoo, and it was fun. It's kinda childish but i tried to enjoy it. I think it was the best zoo so far because we can see the animals from any side and we were not too far to see the animals. And I don't remember what day, we took a little trip around Amelia Island and then had a very short ferry boat trip. It was fuuuun. we got Popsicles afterward. Mine fell,tho. haha.
Shortly, my spring break was sooo long but it was fun. We always had something to do. We kinda skip cities so we could visit many cities. That made my spring break!
