1. So, a big thank you to my Former Co-Worker and his family for the invite.  My friend and I had a great time with them and I think we all got along really well.

2. I got a great tan from the trip and decided to grow a beard.  Pictures of these and a few beefcake (sort of) speedo pics of me will be forthcoming.  I also helped my FCW and his family get some beach photos – looking forward to seeing those.

3. The drive back was really really long, but I had loaded up my flash drives with music and it made things go a little faster.

4. The final dinner out was at Aunt Chileta’s  – a restaurant my friend had been trying to go to for years and always missed out on.  After all the hype, the food was “just okay”.

5. I didn’t buy any HHI merchandise, though I was tempted a few times by a sweet hat.

6. It was great to get away for a week and though we didn’t do much except hang out on the beach, it was so relaxing that I’m not really dreading going back to work.  My friends remarked that I was unusually friendly to strangers on the beach, guess time will tell if that lasts.

So, there’s my beach trip.  I’ll get some photos posted soon once I do a little editing.  Time to get these posted and enjoy the cool Ohio day.  Maybe wash my car, maybe play some video games, maybe do a little cleaning.  In any case, I’m going to enjoy the peace and quiet before heading back to work.
