I'm in the Gulf of Mexico

On Thursday I left early and towards the US border. At around 8pm I arrived at a Cracker Barrel restaurant in Kentucky and had breakfast for dinner. Then, after a few more hours of driving myself and my parents stop in Nashville, TN to rest for the night. The next morning, and amazing continental breakfast, and 8 hours of driving later and we're pulling into my Grandparents condo in Orange Beach, AL. The condo is right on the Gulf of Mexico and is currently filled with 6 of my cousins, 2 aunts, 2 uncles and has resulted in renting a second condo. 
On my first day I was almost immediately in the water. Despite warnings of sharks I was swimming for a few hours and then eating a very late dinner. Michelle called me and we talked for a few hours. I got to hear about her iPhone and feel even more anxious for the arrival of my iPhone. 
Now I am writing this post after my second day. I began Day 2 with a long jog with my 15 year old cousin. Afterwards I swam in the pool and then the beach. I filmed my cousin Colin fishing for a bit and then swam with him. The best part of swimming today was when Colin and I threw our 8 year old cousin into a big wave and he puked in the ocean. I couldn't stop laughing as his pink bile floated in the ocean.
