Vacation by the Numbers

750- Miles.  Distance from our house to Seabrook Island.

5 - West Virginia style hotdogs at this restaurant.  Big thumbs up.  Difficult to find from the highway though.

2 - Nights in a town we dubbed “Asia of the South” while visiting a friend in North Carolina.  Seriously, all the signage in my friend’s apt complex was also in Korean.  Who knew?

3 - Days with my parents before Mr. A and I got extremely irritated.

0 - Arguments and confrontations about the irritation.  (Also, church discussion avoided.)

47 - Games played.  Wii tennis, Apples to Apples and Risk, mostly.

57 - Dollars.  Expensive rainy day visit to the Aquarium.

2 - Snails eaten by me.  Mr. A and I had dinner out at a nice restaurant.  Not fancy in appearance, but excellent food –though I could live without ever eating snails again.  (The first 4 chews of the snail were good.  The rest of the chews tasted exactly the way you would imagine snails would taste.  Ugh.)

103 - Dollars.  Cost of dinner and drinks at the fancy restaurant.

500 - Dollars.  Approximate total amount of money we spent on the entire week-long trip.  Thanks for financing the condo and the groceries Mom and Dad!

13 - Hours we will spend in the car tomorrow.  Fun. Fun. Fun.

    Hey! Cabot’s on his way home right now from the beach here in North Carolina (Carina and I are staying a few more days with my parents, my sister, and her two boys). We also captured a giant “water bug” (the euphemism they use down here) that Carina spotted first. Hope your travels go well tomorrow.

  • I’m glad that it was more than a bunch of creepy spiders and such. I love Charleston but my partner says it is too hot to ever step foot there again. Hope it was fun!

    It was only 2 trips ago (we do 20-hour-each-way trips) that we discovered the joys of a laptop with kid DVDs and a set of headphones. Hope you have something that keeps yours similarly enthralled!
