Dear gas station owners between Oklahoma and Florida. Please keep your restrooms clean.
Hey Texas. I love that 75 mph speed limit.
If you wait until the last day of your vacation to take family photos outdoors, it’s guaranteed to be the windiest day you are there.
Did you know that there are places in the south that do not offer “unsweetened” tea? True. I experienced it.
When the guys operating the parasailing boat tell you to watch for sharks, they mean it. Yikes.
If you tell a 6 year old that he will get to do something in the evening and then change your minds, he will have a massive melt down. Wouldn’t you?
Did you know that when you sit on the beach in the sand while the waves gently wash over you, sand goes in places sand is not meant to go? Let’s call it a spa treatment.
Driving through rural Mississippi I saw signs saying, “lookout for long logs.” Now I have no idea what these long logs have done to warrant my watching out for them, but I guess short logs are under control.
When you go on vacation in a beach community you expect people to be a little more casually dressed, but for the little gal I had to look at while eating at the Waffle House. Honey, put on some clothes. Your see through cover up wasn’t covering up anything. I really didn’t need to see all the things your string bikini was not covering and I really didn’t want to see all the tattoos. Made it a little difficult to swallow my waffles.
While on the beach in Florida, I have discovered that there is an area where I am in the minority. I don’t have a tattoo. I have also come to terms with not worrying too much about how I look in a swimsuit. I cannot “un-see” some of the things I saw.
I had been looking forward to an evening stroll on the beach with my sweetie for months. We finally make it down one evening and off we go hand in hand. I’ve taken my shoes off, feeling the warm sand on my feet and OMG is this stuff hard to walk in. My calves are burning. How much farther do we have to go?
I have spent almost my entire life in Oklahoma and have never seen a tornado (and I’m ok with that). Go to Florida for a week and what do I see? A water tornado! Way cool.
Having my coffee every morning from the 11th floor terrace of our condo, just looking at the ocean, does not get old. Hey are those dolphins?
Getting to spend a full week with the people you love the most in the entire world, priceless.
