Ten Memorable Vacation Memories (in no particular order....I feel like everything, these days, is in no particular order...hahahaha)
1. Getting bit by a crab while playing in the shallow water somewhere off the Outer Banks on one of our family vacations when I was really little. It happened like three or four times and nobody believed me, so I'd get back in and it would happen again. Finally dad watched the water around me and saw it get me. Since it wasn't getting anyone else, I can only assume I must have been the best tasting. LOL.
2. Riding the ferry to Ocracoke Island on another one of those family vacations.
3. Daddy's "short-cuts" that weren't so short. Funny thing is, I tend to do the same thing when I drive now....and not just on vacation. LOL.
4. Las Vegas in August 05. Actually, that entire trip was memorable....for several different reasons....some pleasant, some not so. Like the poison ivy all over my leg and arm that oozed the entire trip and sent me to a little urgent care place while we were out there....yeah...that was "not so." Teehehe.
5. Dustin and YaYa driving down for a second weekend with us while we were at Myrtle Beach last summer. The moat they dug around their beach mats while KC, Munchkin, and I built the pyramid and sphinx a few yards away.....LOL. Good times.
6. Our anniversary trip to Pigeon Forge in which we discovered that our cabin was pretty much perched on the side of a mountain and we spent the entire weekend hoping it wouldn't snow or else we'd have been stuck for ages. Other than that, it was a great cabin to spend an anniversary in....
7. Walking up the sidewalk in Gatlinburg on our honeymoon in the dead of December, doing the touristy thing with our faces freezing off. And both of us not wanting to say anything to the other one b/c we though they wanted to do that, so we both just suffered and went on. LOL.
8. Burying Munchkin in the sand and then building a mermaid body on her last summer on our first summer vacation with her.
9. Also on that first summer vacation with her....holding her down to keep her from hurting herself or anyone/anything, in the car while she had a massive tantrum and screamed at us. I seriously hope this beach vacation doesn't trigger any more of those flashbacks (which is what we assume happened the last time).
10. The time we spent together in the massive hotel/casino in Las Vegas. Well, we didn't really spend a lot of time in the casino, but just walking through it leaves a pretty vivid memory...LOL.
WHEW. That was difficult. I was drawing a blank toward the end. We always go to the same places, so all the vacations start blending together after awhile. LOL.
Anyways, so there's something that will work for a post. I've been in a rather rotten mood (okay, so it's PMS) over the last couple of days and it's not really left me in the mood to write....or at least to write anything good...OR to do anything else for that matter. LOL.
KC has been laughing at me b/c it seems like this month I've really been a grouch. He thinks it's funny as long as it's not directed at him. He really got a kick on Sunday when I was driving and pulled up at the drive thru after church. I was waiting in line to order, when a car pulled up behind me. Some young punk with his windows down and his music so loud that I'm sure windows were rattling several miles away. I was aggravated, and glared at him in my side mirror a couple of times but he didn't get the picture. So right before I pulled up to order, I rolled my window down and stuck my head out and yelled at him to "TURN IT DOWN.. . ...PLEASE! {long pause} Thank you." He gave me a weird look (which is when I added the please) and then a couple of seconds of me glaring at him and waiting, and then he turned it down (which is when I said thank you). I pulled my head back in the car to find KC staring at me. "What??? I said 'PLEASE,'" I said, to which he busted out laughing, and then I just pulled up and ordered, as calmly as you please. After I got done ordering and pulled up to pay, the guy turned it back up. KC was like, what are you going to do now? "I don't care now," I said, "I'm done ordering. If the guy behind me can't hear, HE'LL have to yell at the dude." LOL.
Moral of the story. Don't make me mad when I'm PMS'in. Haha.
Anywho. I'm going to go to bed now. KC's already sawing logs over there, so I'm gonna get him moving and get both of us to bed. LOL.
Night!
*LOL* Okay, there's the difference between us. When I'm PMSing I would not be saying please or thank you. *LOL* Love ya!
ReplyDeleteSounds like you're making lots of memories, some good, some not so good. That's life, right? :)
ReplyDeleteOkay, the stand-off at the drive thru was hilarious! It reminded me of myself this 4th of July. The crowd was leaving, it was late and someone from an upper level 'spits' down and it hits this guy right beside me. I can understand his frustration, but I did not appreciate the stream of profanity that started coming out of his mouth. His girlfriend is telling him to be quiet(which didn't work)so I thought I'd help her out. "Could you watch the profanity around my kids, thanks" It was more a command than a question. I meant for him to stop. He did.....for a second or two and then started again. That was when my Romeo stepped in and said one word. "Hey," as in enough. The guy stopped then. I was very glad b/c I didn't want to fight it out on the green if you know what I mean.
ReplyDeleteAlex (my wise guy)declares the guy got scared when he looked back and saw him....& his six pack, LOL!
My dad took us to Ocracoke once. I think that trip was the basis for my "flood and pestilence" entry on my list of ten memorable vacations. I was just a tyke at the time.
ReplyDelete*LOL* HAHAHAHA!!! You have got me laughing my head off over the drive-thru loud music thing! :o) Thanks for sharing your agrivation at others b/c it humors the rest of us. :o)
