Gulf of mexico, here I come!

Going to visit my folks in Panama City Beach, Fla. in Feb., yahoo!!

I'm not sick of the white stuff yet, but when you get to April, and all the weather you've seen for months is some variation on dark, cold, freezing rain, ice pellets, snow, snow, and more snow... well breaking that experience up in February will help get through it all. :-)

I teased my daughter about it yesterday. I phoned her up just after she got home from school and said, "Do you like... dolphins?"

"Yes," she answered.

"Swimming in the ocean?"
(Yes, we will - we're Canadians who've swum in Lake Ontario in April and May :-)

"Yeah..."

"Gulfworld?"

"Yeah?" (getting interested)

"Alligators? Beaches?"

Yeah??"

You get the idea. ;-)
