Ashley's Visit

Ashley arrived late Friday night and we left for Myrtle Beach on Saturday morning. We are having a really good time. I decided to take a break from the sun and boot up on the Internet for awhile.
The first night we were here we went to Broadway on the Beach, ate raw oysters and sushi and saw an IMAX movie about Sharks. It wasn't nearly as thrilling as what we had anticipated. The second day after spending a large portion of the day on the beach, we went to Hooks which is a seafood buffet. I hate buffets so I'm not sure why I thought I would enjoy it. We all left so sick but we pressed on and went dancing at Studebakers. Evidently the night we were there was an "off" night because there was only a hand full of people at this place. So we danced a few times and made friends with one of the guys that has worked there for 20 years. He hooked us up with some free t-shirts and took a picture of us in the old car as you can see below. Yesterday, we decided to go shark fishing. So we took a chartered boat out in the ocean from 4:00 to 8:00 pm. Even though it was a beautiful day, the ocean was extremely rough. It was one of those days where the waves crash over the top of the boat. You had to hang on for dear life but I thought it was great. So did Ashley and Scott until they got sick and threw up. Me on the other hand, I fished until the captain told us to reel them in. Unfortunately I only caught two baby fish, one of which was used to catch about a 4 ft shark. I thought it was very unfair that I wasn't allowed to use my own bait that I caught.
Today, is our last day here. We've been playing in the ocean and Scott and Ashley are laying on the beach right now but I came in to work. As you can tell, I'm writing my blog instead of working. I'll have to get to that later.

Here are some pictures of our trip so far.

Mid Life Crisis?????

I know I'm such a bad blogger. I've had so much to blog about but can't seem to bring myself to sit down and do it. However, after tonight I felt like I needed to blog.

About two weeks ago Scott went to the dealership and told the salesman, "I want the biggest truck you've got". He got it. (Dodge Mega Cab) and tonight I believe I have bought the smallest car they make. I bought myself a Porsche Boxster.

Am I going through a mid life crisis??? Just maybe...... but I can tell you, Scott and I have drove all over Snellville tonight having a blast. This thing is fast and so much fun!! The only problem is trying to get out of my car. It's hilarious. We both moan and have to get a push to get out of the car. Funny thing, I am to the point in my life where I can afford a car like this but too old to get out of it. Life is so backwards. I still have my Nissan to tote the kids around in and give myself a break if needed.
