Vacation?

Vacation.

Our family, my dad AND my MIL.

Started out with a flat tire on the Interstate.

Beach house sort of not as expected.

Send ~~help~~ alcohol.

Um...yeah...that bottle of Captain Morgan's is on the way...set sail with the Captain, Sister!

The first rule of family vacationing is: Always pack your own alcohol!!!
Second rule: Find the nearest liquor store
Good luck!

Not packing alcohol when vacationing with family? I pack that before anything else! :) We took my MIL to Fiji, and boy did I need extra booze on that trip! http://elliotts.eachday.com/sets/35530-Trips-Fiji

You didn't pack your own helper?!? What's wrong with you? I looked up to you! You should have planned for this!!!

Just kidding, sending mental inebriation your way!

For some reason, it just seemed like a good idea to just deal with it when I got here.

Somehow, I forgot the fact that the nearest grocery is a 30 mile round trip.

Just keep telling yourself, "It can only get better."

Bless your heart!

Oh no! At least it can only get better from here?

Sounds like work will be a vacation when you get back!

'sorry, I couldn't get past 'dad and MIL' in the same sentence defining 'vacation'. I'd consider an emergency call to a therapist.

Yikes!!!

Just shipped my MIL back home so I will ship out my remaining supply of alcohol (unfortunately not much remains).

Posted by: JayMonster | June 23, 2008 9:19 AM

I'm putting it in the mail right now.

Posted by: Renee | June 23, 2008 1:55 PM

Yeah...why is it that for so many of us, summer vacation = family which in no way = vacation!

Hang in there.

Posted by: WEndy | June 23, 2008 9:27 PM

I laughed at Husband for buying liquor from the duty free shop on the ferry en route to our vacation. I didn't laugh when he made me a G&T on the first night there. I needed it!

And OMG! we had a flat tire on our way home! In Canada! Had to decipher the metric measurements to fill our spare with air, etc. What an adventure.
