Not So Sandy

We survived.

Archi-Sapper and I are back from taking our churches' high school youth group to Destin, FL for a weekend. All of my limbs are still intact (I checked this morning), I didn't kill anyone and we all had a really good time. The best part of the actual travel to and from Florida was that Archi-Sapper was driving and wouldn't let the three teenage girls in the backseat of our car sing along to Britney Spears at the top of their lungs. There was actually an interesting mix of musical tastes in the car -- two of the girls were of the Britney Spears/Michelle Branch/any girl who sings about love listeners, while one only wanted to listen to Rush and Yes (she wasn't even born when those groups were in their prime, but I wasn't going to complain because it was far better than Britney).

We stayed in a really nice condo that was close to the beach -- not that I ever saw it. Every time I would head over there or think about heading over there, I'd get distracted by something else. Since it was cloudy most of the time and the surf was pretty rough (or so I'm told), we watched movies, went go-carting and I got to read some of my book (currently The Iliad). Archi and I also hit the outlet mall and I learned something new for me, which I'll have to keep in mind as a soon-to-be homeowner: fiscal restraint. They had an Off-5th (Saks' outlet store), and I had to walk out to keep from spending my money. I just kept thinking to myself, "Closing costs, closing costs......"
