We had a nice 4th of July weekend. We skipped the fireworks this time, and had a nice relaxing weekend.
Here is a picture of the kids playing in the rain this morning. We are having a nice mellow sprinkling - very good for the flowers! (Have you ever noticed that it tends to rain on July 5th? My theory is that all the fireworks smoke "seeds" the clouds to make it rain.)
We have booked a condo for our trip to the beach. We will be staying in Destin. Because there will be four adults and 3 kids, we figured out that a condo would be cheaper than 3 hotel rooms at something like a stratosphere hotel. We got a 3 bedroom condo which is on the beach. Well, the condo complex is on the beach and has a private beach. There is a short walk to the water from our unit.
We've been living as cheaply as we could for months. In order to pay off all the bills, I sold some stock that I had and we decided that it would be ok to take a short beach trip. We deserve a bit of a break.
