I tried to prepare us well for the grocery/supply shopping I knew we would be doing for the beach house. I packed a small packet of coupons. We bought diapers, wipes, and groceries galore. At Walgreens, I spent $45 and $10 of that was tax. At Albertson's, we spent $253 and saved $72 before getting to that total. Hey, I had to earn my keep!
We were warned that if we saw an Iguana, we should keep our distance. They will slap their tales at you and can run pretty fast. We were thinking of a 6-8 inch type Iguana. Nope. They meant the 12-18 inch kind...and yes, they are fast. We had one in particular that seemed to live at the beach house with us. We are pretty sure he stole Ep's swim trunks. More on that in a bit...
Amy, Mom, and I were sitting at the kitchen table and I made a comment about going to get some alcohol. My mom pipes up that "there is some under my bathroom sink!" and that is when Amy and I nearly fell out of our chairs. I asked if she really wanted me to drink the stuff under her sink. Then mom nearly fell out of her chair. Then we revisited Amy's "no passing gas in the kitchen" rule...
Ep hung his swim trunks out to dry on our bedroom balcony. No big deal. I had hung my swimsuit out there already and it did just find drying out. Apparently, his shorts weren't content with where he hung them. They flat out disapeared. We searched all over for them. We decided the Iguana stole them or that the wind blew them into the ocean. Good thing he packed a second pair! Yet, on the morning we were leaving, Chris found the missing trunks on the balcony. I guess the Iguana didn't like them that well after all....
