So, I’ve got crossword puzzles and a “People” activity book that my mom gave me ready to go. Yesterday, I bought a Marvel Comics coloring and activity book that hopefully Justin will enjoy. It’s goofy, I know, but sometimes you go to great lengths for entertainment during a monotonous car ride. And finally last night, I printed out some free travel bingo and scavenger hunt games from the internet that we will be able to participate in together. Unfortunately, I was having my parents try to locate “The World’s Greatest Travel Game” which is this awesome game from the 80’s that I played as child. But I guess they didn’t realize how valuable it was to me and probably sold it in a garage sale long ago.
Besides the games and activities, we always have our music. Both of us have our I-pods/Phones and we have my free XM/Sirius radio.
Another project I’ve been working on fairly consistently has been to go through Wine Spectator magazines and take note of wines (all under $20) that I’m interested in purchasing. The reason being, there is a giant wine and spirits warehouse in Sarasota called Total Wines that we are planning on spending a couple of hours at one day. Apparently, they have a larger and more eclectic selection than any of the wine stores around here. I find that pretty hard to believe because Party Source, Cork ‘n’ Bottle and even Jungle Jims around this area are quite large, although I’ve never really scoured their stock for anything in particular. So, stay tuned on that one.
The last (slightly unnecessary) thing I did was I bought some additional beach-wear. When I was in St. Louis last weekend, I picked up a cute little strapless terry cloth cover-up. This, I actually did need, because I haven’t had a true cover-up for as long as I can remember. Then, on Monday after work, I bought not one, not two, but THREE new bathing suits. It was a little excessive, I know, but there are incredible sales and I haven’t bought any bathing suits since the summer Justin and I got married 6 years ago. I got one bikini for $20, 1 tankini for $30 and a monokini for $40. Pretty darn good!! I have one more suit that I bought this summer the last time I was in Florida in June as well. So, I will be more than set for beach-bummin’ it on this trip. Oh and one more thing, I did get rid of 4 old bathing suits last night. In with the new and out with the old (not quite the right order, but better late than never!).
