The plan is to spend 10 days steps away from the clear waters of panhandle Gulf Coast, starting Sunday. I contacted individual owners of a great property and negotiated nearly half off late-season rates for a last minute reservation. The place has a water garden (complete with pirate ship), lazy river, zero-entry pool, and 3 bedrooms so that family could visit while we were there. We booked a ticket for Paul’s Mom to fly in for a few days and arranged a visit from my parents from Mobile. I even started making and freezing meals. With all the excitement about the upcoming trip (the kids ask about “BEACH DAY” each morning), I completely forgot about Murphy’s Law.
So after a relatively quiet summer, wouldn’t you know that this just came out…

I can surely relate. We experienced hurricane Charlie in a stilled house on the Outer Banks of NC with Ruth and the kids. The house rocked and the toilet water splashed out because of the movement. They complained about being housebound and me being their mean mother made them write a paper on what they would rather be doing. The kids also learned how to pay 5 card poker. Weather its something that you can’t control. All the best.
