wtf

Ok so I lowered my car and then I got an alignment and now my wheels off to the right and if I turn the wheels straight on the car drifts to the left. Anyone have any advice I leave for the beach tomorrow so I need to do something soon unless the car will be fine to drive.

Or you can eyeball a backyard alignment if it is really horrible. I did that once.

I won't be getting back until next Sunday from the beach though is it an easy fix for a shop or do they have to redo the alignment?

then yes, they didnt align it properly. if you have a race shop around, I suggest them. Most places just use some lasers and if its in X% error range its fine. I'll be going to Archer Racing to get mine hand aligned, costs more but they know what they are doing.
