In just five long hot days, we will begin our journey to within a few short miles of paradise. I don't mean to say FWB is not paradise, but well....you know. I'll TRY to do a trip report, but well...you know about that too. It's the whole, I mean the whole family. Three cars, one jet ski :roll:, 6 kids, 7 adults. The kids have already about figured out they almost outnumber us. Publix here I come! It will be an adventure, it always is.

p.s.--I'll need a Sowal day to decompress.

DD has arrived! No wifi. She left Dallas and hit rain in east TX...it then continued to rain the whole way to FWB. I spoke with her yesterday morning and she found some new flavored vodka. She is with 13 family members (6 kiddos) and the rain kept them inside. Vodka will come in handy.

Finally got a connection!! Yippee!! Sunny today, but the beach was a tad dirty. Dead fish, tons of june grass--to the point of soupy. But hey, it was better than rain!!! The poor kids were bored to tears until the sun came out. I've made a trip to Publix and a trip to Wal-Mart in Destin in the rain. OMC. OMC. OMC. WM was INSANE!!!! The produce section was all sold out of most stuff. Sunkist and her new man headed to SoWal tonight for a date. I think they were going to Nick's. I'm thinking I might head over on Thursday. More later...depending on connectivity.
