Road Trip

Daughter has decided she really really needs/wants a car to drive her Senior year of college. Our first response to that was to ask around and see if anyone there might be selling a used car that she could pick up for a reasonable amount that would do the trick. She did, and nobody is. Well, one person was, but it's a long story involving a car belonging to a friend that used to belong to that friend's Mom, now deceased (the Mom, not the friend), and them asking way too much for it. So it really doesn't count anyway. And also, there were were vibes around that car that I think are best to avoid entirely. Trust me on this. Weeks pass, and the car thing keeps coming up in conversations, so we go to the next place, which is should WE buy a new car (that we can't afford right now and with my going to school more and working less certainly won't be any better positioned to afford a year from now) and give her mine? Then we dismiss that because it's just a bad id...

The Cape

Daughter spent the weekend at the Cape. As in Cod. She said we'd love it, should rent a house for a summer and just do it. Which made my mouth water, and my brain start to churn and scheme and begin to formulate a plan that would allow something like that to actually happen. I immediately jumped to clam bakes, bonfires on the beach, fun hikes and boating and generally enjoying being right there on the water with the ability to do as much or as little as you want. Skaket Beach Sunset (from Cape Cod Tourism site) The rentals are all family names, which I think is cool. We might even be able, if we took some friends and made a muti-family summer of it, afford it. Just maybe. But then there's the whole work thing for me, though the prospect of hanging out on Cape Cod for an entire summer? Makes me want to get really creative. Really creative. House on the beach. Oh yeah. What's not to love about that??? Ok, so basically? I'm in.
