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.
Travel safe!
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!
