Beatles Road Trip!

Hey everyone! And welcome back to a new trimester of blogs with some pretty awesome BEATLENESS! First blogs before spring break and man, won't mine be busy. Our school band is taking a trip to Florida (WHOOP!), but instead of getting a plane, we have to go by bus. Not as fun (or enjoyable). So I'm getting myself prepared for the essentials that I'll need for the long 1 1/2 NON STOP RIDE. Beatles, Beatles and more Beatles.

This consests of taking my favorite Beatles books to read and stocking up on my favorite Beatles songs to make sure I can listen to. Still trying to decide if I should bring my Beatles blanket for the ride but I'm too afraid it might get ripped or destroyed! Better be safe and not bring it (yep, definitely not).

This whole experience reminds me back A LONG TIME AGO when my grandma, dad, grandpa and myself went on a 2 week vacation to North Daktoa to go see Mount Rushmore. I'd say it was at least in the 7th grade (I'm currently in the 11th), because I was obsessed with listening to 1 album the whole time, which was the first Beatles album/CD I had ever got; Help! To this day, whenever I hear the album, it brings back memories of myself looking out the window and watching all of the beautiful scenery pass by. 

This isn't this first time I've ever been to Florida for sure! I've been going to Florida every year since I was born; either being in February or over Christmas (this year was special because I wanted to wait and go with my band friends). The years we went over Christmas, I would get a new Beatles CD RIGHT before leaving so I would have some new music to listen to (mind you I had a CD player during this time). I remember one year I got the White Album (The Beatles album) for Christmas and it was one of the most CRAZIEST THINGS I've ever heard. 

What reminds me that most of it was being shoved into my grandparents little car and taking the 4-5 hour drive from Daytona Beach to Orlando for a fun filled day at Universal Studios! (The extra time was caused by my grandfathers lack of direction and following direction). One song that really struck me was 'Martha My Dear' and I listened to it the whole way there! The funny thing about this is that I played the song to my mother and she hated it - I make fun of her now because it's her favorite Beatles song. 

I hope everyone has a good spring break (whenever it is) and if you go anywhere, BE SAFE!
