Weeellllll, on Wed we were literallly packed and ready to get up to drive to Florida at 0-dark thirty on Thurs morning to spend a 5 day holiday weekend with Foxhound's parents. They live in Ormond Beach, which borders Daytona. Of course, that Hurricane was brewing down there swirling near Puerto Rico in the days before that. His parents called him at work on Wed to say that they were pretty worried that they were going to need to leave, since it looked like the hurricane was (by then) predicted to hit FL. His parents can't be stuck down there, as they're in their 80's and his mom has some health issues. They were going to need to get outta town before the crazy exodus-heading north to stay with his sister.
We still wanted to take our mini vacay and not a staycation, so we needed to come up with some quick plans. We decided to try Va Beach, so we could get our ocean fix. We were SO lucky - we found a pretty good deal on at a nice hotel ON the boardwalk for all 5 nights! That's saying something since it's Labor Day weekend and the huge music festival
weekend down here on the boardwalk, too. Got a sweet view of the ocean right from the room. The weather is perfect here for the time being. It won't be nasty until after we're gone.
