I was very impessed by the beach, much bigger than I thought it would be.
And harder. At least when you get closer to the water, which was still a ways away. Like putting your towel down on concrete.
Ok, I guess it's time. Meet the Trippers.
My happy wife to be finally out of the car.

Hey, I picked the car. She picked the color.

When she had first picked up the film, she was sitting on the couch looking at them by herself.
Then I heard her crack up.
"Oh brother. You look ridiculous sucking in your stomach."
"What?" "I never sucked in my stomach." "Your nuts."
"Here, the cellulite, I mean celluloid doesn't lie."
And she hands it to me.
Hmm. Looks like she may have a point there.
"I was just taking a nice , deep breath of that fresh, salty air, that's all."
"Right."
That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

We lied there and just kind of looked around in silence for a long time.
It was so loud between the wind and the waves that it wasn't really easy to talk. Two beers , I mean two hours later, I noticed that it seemed to be getting louder. It happens so gradually that it takes awhile to notice.

That's Diane in the center, way out there guys were actually surfing.
I kept looking for Moondoggie.
When we were back by our towels, I looked and saw a kid go by on a skateboard like he had a jetpack on. I couldn't believe it, he had to be doing about 35 miles an hour, I though it was a motorized skateboard on the hard packed sand down by the water.
Then another kid flew by.This time I saw the line from his back going up and it was a KITE! pulling him. It was that windy. I had to admit, I don't skateboard but that looked like fun.
Soon we figured we had enough sun for the first day and headed back to the entrance where this little building called THE Beachcomber was sitting.
Big mistake.
"OH honey, let's go in and check it out, just for one, ok?"
"I checked it out already, nothing special."
"When did you do that?"
"WHile you were changing."
"C'mon, park over there."
Over there turned out to be knee deep white fluffy sand. It was like trudging through a snow drift.
goodnight kids, gotta go meet her for karaoke.
Yes, you heard right. As you can tell by the photos I have no pride. bye![]()

Not laughing at you, just with you! We spent this weekend having a garage sale with friends and complaining about how our legs and feet hurt after a day on the concrete, so I feel for you. I thought we were all still "young" 39(me), 41, 42, and 43, but not so....we went home after 2 beers and at 10:30 p.m!What a treat, saturday night nebo update. Are you going to spoil us with updates 3 days a week.The pics are great. The beach looks beautiful. I suck my stomach in for pics, and try to lean forward and lift my chin up a bit so you don't see the extra chins. It's ok. Hope you had fun at karaoke.
Great installment. Love the pictures. You are getting so good at this--quoting and pictures--almost a computer nerd.
Pirates of the Caribbean 5. Did you find out some good scoop while in the World?
Keep this up and you may be done before the next trip.

BTW - what's an itzakadoozie?![]()
Did you guys get stuck? Don't leave me hangin' like this!![]()
Ummm....Steve?
I think you're mixed up. Those pictures appear to be from your February 1994 trip to the beach.
Which explains the mustache. Heh, heh.

Great update. Didn't know that you could drive on the beach in St. Augustine. Good information to store away for later.....
Since you didn't see moondoggie, did you at least get to see Gidget?


maybe if you sing a few lines, I might remember it.
Anyway, keep going, don't keep us hanging too long. I really do hope your back held out. I do know all about back problems. Back in
I'd rather not know that, dear! you know, when someone tells you something you really would rather not hear. and you put your fingers in your ears and go "LA LA LA"? like when my youngest son said to me when he was about 21 (he is now 25) "hey mom; remember the last time you took us to disney and I was 12 and todd was 15 and we each met a girl at the resort? and the girl I met was a 16 year old blonde from calif. and I told her I was 15? and we went for a walk? well, that was the first time I...... "LA LA LA double LA LA LA!" I never let him finish. (when your kids grow up don't ever have a few beers together and "talk" if they have "run of the mouth" disease) mom's don't want to know this stuff, Jeremy! to this day, I am SURE he was going to say "kissed a girl" or at the most "french kissed". yup, that's it, I'm sure of it.
(hmm, was that a freudian slip on his part?
nah! ) tee hee. oh-oh, he HATES tee hee.
(not sure how happy all the OTHER Guys were about it!)St. Auggie. Going through the town to get to A1A, I wasn't all that impressed, I don't think she was either. It reminded me of The Dells, in Wisconsin,
......and now you're a verb. Just like ZZUB.My back nebo'd carrying groceries in the house last month.
......and now you're a verb. Just like ZZUB.
one time we were watching a playoff game at the bar and he said "let's dance" me:"um, there's no music" him: "don't worry about it". we got up and danced while he sang "always and forever" and this during a PLAYOFF game!(not sure how happy all the OTHER Guys were about it!)
I would be on
