The Dog River Blues.

First things first. Today is the 29th which means it's my mother's birthday. So HAPPY 60th BIRTHDAY MAMA, hope you swam. Now on to the boring stuff. No seriously, we've been hanging out in Surkha, playing on the internet, playing with Hank, making food, talking, hanging out, and watching movies with the Mangos waiting out the weather.

 Yesterday, Jena and I ventured into Mobile to run some errands and realized that the Prius was sitting at 299,999 miles and since I was talking to the previous owner of it at the time, my dad, we were excited to watch it change. BUT, we've now driven 20 more miles and it still says 299,999 so needless to say we are a little bummed by the anti-climactic-ness of reaching 300,000 miles but I started a new trip odometer and will just be adding them together.

Today we tore everything out of the Prius in order to re-pack its bowels so we can fit two Mangos, Hank, and ourselves on a drive to south Florida so we can bask in the suns and lounge on the beaches for a week. It will be a packed trip but it will be worth it for some warm weather. We took a break between packing to check out a bunch of ships in the shipyard and actually were able to climb up and into one of the wrecks here and check 'er out. It was very cool to see the inner workings of a 50 foot sail boat and get good views of the entire marina.

We are now hanging out some more, eating dinner (Domino's - yeah we packed up all the food already and didn't want to do dishes), and going to watch a movie in a bit.

 More updates as we actually get to doing exciting things.
