Beach Bums!

The annual Elliott family PCB trip is here! We spend nearly all year anxiously awaiting this blessed week away from reality. A townhouse on the beach, lazy days, good grilling, and fun activities such as putt-putt golf and Gulf World are on the agenda.

This year is a bit odd for two reasons. One, Jeb is going as are Jack and William. All of whom will be sleeping in the living room. Hmm. Seven adults and one rowdy 3.5 year old in one townhouse. Should be cozy! Two, Mom and Jeb left early this morning to go to Enterprise to close on Jeb's house. Well, that's the way it was supposed to have gone. But unfortunately the morons processing his paperwork have not finished his loan approval packet. So after they were halfway there, they got the news that the closing is being rescheduled for Monday. Ok, not great but not totally devastating since we'll only be 90 miles from Enterprise in PCB. He can drive up, close and drive back. However, Mom drove down in Jeb's fully packed Explorer, and Jeb drove down in a 17 ft. UHaul truck packed full. So, he had to sign yet another agreement to "rent" the house for the next week. And he went ahead and changed all the utilities. Meanwhile I'm back here about to have a major anxiety attack based on the fact that it's all still up in the air. Please God let this all work out!

And being the baby that I am, I'm sad that part of our entourage won't be present for the entire caravan down there. We put a lot of fun into anticipation. Last year mom and I even did our Wal-Mart shopping for the trip together. And now the frequent-urinator won't join us until 5 hours into the trip. Sad, but good for the driving.
