We're starting to pack up for our six days at the beach next week. This will be the first time all four of us will be taking a vacay together, just us. We might have lunch one day with the Petite Filet's aunt and uncle who live nearby, but otherwise we will be chillin' it nuclear-family style.
Here are some of the things I need to do to get ready:
• Make sure all my brown and black socks are clean so I can wear them with sandals next week.
• Be on the lookout for the most embarrassing souvenir-stand T-shirt I can find. I'll buy it and refuse to wear anything but it when we're out and about.
• Apply sunscreen in interesting patterns on my skin so the sunexposure will make sayings pop out on my arms. I'm thinking I'll write "left" on my right arm and "right" on my left arm, just to be a rebel. On the Petite Filet's back? How about "I'm with stupid." On the kids? A numeral "1" for the oldest and then a "2" for the baby.
• Speaking of weird tan lines, I'll hop on my bike in the mornings to put some miles in. Bike gloves do create a weird pattern on the flesh!
• Enjoy some homemade margaritas while out on the balcony. Have burping contests with the PF.
• Try not to get the minivan stuck in the sand. We'd take my car but the interior room is lacking compared to The Egg.
• Not think about work.
• Remember to not pack the laptop.
• Relearn how to relax.
I'll be in Vegas next week! It is a great week to vaction. You and your love bunch have a great time!
A worthy goal. Have fun!!
Hey, sounds like fun! I love the beaches. A justification for not bringing your laptop is that it would get sand in it...have a raucous time!
Computers and sand.........well, it's your funeral.
Ditch the sox man!
I find it so strange when I hear people so excited to go to the beach. I guess living on a island next to the water all the time does that to you. You have a great blog here. Enjoy your vacation.
