i want to go back to the beach

this was the extent of my to-do list for the past week:
  • float in pool
  • play in ocean
  • look for shells
  • eat lots of snow crab
my mom and i spent the past week in pensacola beach, florida with friends from church that we've known forever. this was our second year to go on vacation together and it was quite fun.

one night we drove into pensacola to eat at maguire's, they are famous for having great burgers. they also have a very cool tradition of letting everyone who visits sign a dollar bill and staple it to the ceiling. they have over $550,000 in dollar bills, and that's not a typo! there is money everywhere. i think i could live on their dollar bills for the rest of my life. of course we didn't want to miss the opportunity to leave our mark in history, so we all signed a bill and up it went.

the room we were in looked like it was a recent addition since it didn't have nearly as much money in it as the rest of the place. also, if you ever eat here, be sure to go to the bathroom. i won't spoil the surprise, just go.

i'm somewhat shocked you sacrificed a dollar. you may have lost a few points in the "most frugal person i know" category. :)

clarification: i did not sign my own dollar, i just offered to add my signature to the "group dollar" that was provided by someone else :)

Wow, that looks like a fabulous trip...and the fact that you got to enjoy beautiful beach weather in October makes it even better!!!

that clears it up. you're back on top of the most frugal category!
