beach

yeah sure i kind of wanted to go
i had multiple chances to go
but i didnt

as a a family, we havent taken any time off in a while, and with the beach being closer than anything, my parents are talking about going when school starts; 2 weeks from now. idk, i mean, i enjoy the actual beach part - just not with my family. honestly, and im not saying that because im 'embarrassed' by them or because i dont want to be with my parents. it's just that, taking what is supposed to be a vacation with people like my parental units is difficult. they dont ever seem to leave work behind... between juggling phone calls, remote pc magazine editing, picking up fsbo mags everywhere we stop, and all the while trying to coordinate eating, and spending some time in the water... it usually ends up being a highly stressful event

so hopefully, we wont vacate this year

[sidenote] we are probably moving closer to town
my father alone spent $2000 in gas last month
with four drivers... and two suvs, its bad

which in my opinion is all the more reason not to vacate
:)
