15 Candles!

(note: This post is from last Monday.)

Today was my 15th birthday! Yay! To celebrate, we went para-sailing in Hilton Head, South Carolina. I was really cool to soar 800ft in the air behind a boat. Afterwards, we drove all the way to Charleston, North Carolina to see Fort Sumtner, where the 'shot heard around the world' was fired. (aka The first shot of the American Revolutionary War.) The fort is located on an island in the middle of a bay. Unfortunately, by the time we got there, the last ferry over departed an hour before we arrived! Much abashed, we went out to dinner at a little Italian place in the downtown area. But they didn't have canoli! What kind of self respecting Italian restaurant dosen't have canoli!? Their claim was that they were 'northern Italian', but I'm not buying it! Anyways, instead of a birthday canoli, we picked up some Ben & Jerry's icecream from the local 7/11. (I now have 2 new favorite icecreams! :P) Actually, the name of this post is rather misleading... I didn't have a single candle! That's okay though because I don't think candles and icecream mix very well... :)
