No Vacation for You!

Please note this post isn’t about our home renovations, but I thought you’d enjoy reading about BF’s birthday weekend.

Not sure if many of you know, but BF’s favorite hobby (other than renovating our fixer-upper) is fishing.  He LOVES to fish.  Freshwater, intracoastal, saltwater, ponds, lakes, rivers, you name it, he’ll fish it.

When I asked him how he wanted to celebrate his upcoming birthday, he asked for a weekend trip to Cedar Key, Florida.  I happily agreed since Cedar Key is a short drive from Jacksonville.  I could work on my tan, BF could fish, Bailey could come along and we would eats lots of local seafood and just relax. 

Little did we know how much effort it would take to travel to Cedar Key.  After driving for 45 minutes, BF noticed excessive shaking coming from the boat trailer. 

The drive time normally takes only two hours, but it took us FOUR hours.  There were multiple stops at gas stations, road shoulders and Wal-mart because of the boat trailer tires.  The first tire blew out after we passed Gainesville.

We were lucky to have the second tire blow out as we arrived at our hotel. 
To make things worse, Bailey proved himself to be the hungry snack hound.  He snuck his way to the front of the car and ate my sandwich. 

We planned to have a nice and relaxing weekend on the Gulf Coast, but BF ended up changing flat tires and driving to small town "charming" Wal-marts.  Fortunately we found our way to the water.
