Spring Break was a blast! I spent the better half of it in Daytona with... my better half! Kyle is the fairly-recent owner of a beautiful Harley Soft-tail motorcycle that he loves and has put time into making it look good. He has a scheme going with black, lots of chrome, and skulls--it is a nice looking bike (and he looks pretttyyyy darn good on it too!).
I have been a little nervous (okay, a lot nervous) to ride it outside the neighborhood just because he's told me so many stories of accidents he's both seen himself and heard of from other medics. I trust him, just not other cars. And with motorcycles, they always say "it's not if you get in an accident, it's when you get in an accident." But because Daytona Bike Week and Spring Break line up... there was really no putting off the inevitable any longer.

On our way to the mass festivities & vendors at Destination Daytona
Kyle bought me a helmet, and I decided to match his
It was actually a lot of fun to ride on his bike, and now that I have my own helmet (and am not using his full-face while he settles for a sub-par get up) I can be at peace that our faces are both well-protected. I'm looking forward to riding it more for sure, and there might be a small part of me that is kinda a ballsy biker chick! lol! I am really proud of myself for facing my dears, and Kyle even said he was proud of me. :)
Other than bikes, we spent time hanging with his family, and his sister Krystal and I had a nice day of bonding on the beach. With my new tan, I finally look like I live in Florida!
It was a fun several days, and I really didn't want to leave. The break from schoolwork was such a blessing, and yesterday being the first day back was definitely a little hard. I'll just let my mind wander back to the fond memories and keep on moving along I suppose.
