We're home! Hard to believe I was on the beach this morning and it's 31 degrees now. That would be a 55 degree temperature drop today for all you Weather Channel wannabes.
Other bulletins from the wide open road:
Pre-pay gas pumps are a pain in the ass. We're wild, we have cash for gas. If I am filling up my car, I won't know how much gas I need until I'm done. So, note to gas station cashier: Stop asking me that.
Fast food restaurants in coastal towns are in no big hurry to fix your food and they really have no idea why you find that a problem.
Kneeling backward in the passenger seat hanging over the back with a plastic bag for many miles for a certain possibly nauseated preschooler will make one a bit sore.
I hate. hate. hate. items (like shoes) that should be in a suitcase just stuffed in various places aroung the car when traveling. This does not bother the other adult in the car who seems to subscribe to the theory the more loose stuff around the car, the better.

Yes. What is that? Do people either not fill up their tanks any more, or is EVERYONE IN THE WORLD just a better mathematician than I, and can calculate to the penny exactly what that tank will cost, allowing for variables such as mileage, tire wear, city/country driving and that day's price per gallon? I am mystified.
Anyway, welcome home, and I hope you don't need TOO much of a vacation from your vacation, as I always do.
You should put a couple of tennis balls under the driver's seat in his vehicle so he is either reaching for them when they hit his feet or he is trying to kick them back under....lol
I hate hate hate junk left in my car! Drives me batty. I do have a pile of Sonic straw wrappers but I might need them at some point of time!
Welcome home! Can't believe its warmer here in the frozen north than it is where you are near that MMC. Very interesting! I'm now jonsing for that vacation you took - but our spring break is in full swing already.
Welcome back, dear! Sounds like you had a great time!
Hope you all had a great time!
You might inform the other adult in the car that shoes not in suitcases (or in tied Piggly Wiggly bags) become projectiles when the driver has to stomp on the brakes!
As a child who repeatedly decorated the backseat of our family station wagon with chunks of whatever we had for lunch, I can feel your preschooler's pain. My parents started packing brown paper grocery sacks as part of our luggage on each road trip. I wish my mom had hung over the passenger seat holding a barf bag for me. *sniff*
You're a good mommy!
Apparently, you are not familiar with the concept of "Florida Time." Nothing fast happens in most parts of the state. That's why they all look so happy.
Doesn't everyone have pre-paid pumps??? I've never ever EVER just filled up my tank, if I'm paying cash. I guess how much it'll take and when the pump stops, I either go and get my change, go back and add some more money to it, or just convince myself that the "F" stands for "Full Enough".
BTW, Welcome Back!
Pre-paid pumps are stupid - I spend less money on them because I lowball how much I'm going to need! So POOH on them!
Noooooo. GAS on them. The flatulent type. What a supberb idea! Next time I go into the pre-paid station to pay, I'm going to let one go. We're talking raunchy, take-cover, is-that-a-dead-animal type fart.
That'll teach them.
Welcome home! (ummm... where is home again?)
