A Guide for Your Summer Vaccation

My alarm clock is dusty. I haven't showered in days. I am sweating for no reason. Apparently summer is here. As first reported on the Shoe Box, summer is the best season of the year for a number of obvious reasons. The beach, the lack of school, blah blah blah. FEAR NOT ! Your boy Bambi is here to provide you , the readers a guide to how to do it up proper for the summer. 
We will take baby steps. 

FUN
Clearly the summer is the designated fun time of the year. It would be totally cliche to go to the beach or the lake. While fun, those places are played out. Just to mix it up a little , try taking a younger relative to a family pool. A certain friend from Charleston is a jacuzzi jumper. Jacuzzi jumpers go hotel to hotel at night, looking for somewhere to lounge. Go to a ball game in another state ! Not that brave? Go to a local ball game for crying out loud. Live a little ! How long are you going to be young with dads credit card ? No fun in your area? No problem. Become the hot spot. Throw a theme party. Make it a toga, 80's , PJ-PJ party, cookout, etc. Take a road trip to somewhere for no good reason . Gas may never be this cheap again ! 

Leisure
Not a thrill seeker ? Summer is okay for you too. The smartest thing any human has ever done is put TV shows on DVD without commercials. Invest a little. I am sure your kids will want to see The Wire in 25 years. Summer is also the time when new blockbusters come out. This summer we have TONS to look forward to. Most noteably, the new Batman movie, The Dark Knight. Looking to get a buzz? Poor? You sound like a prime candidate for Happy Hour ! For those of you that dont know, Happy Hour is where they give you drinks for cheap. No matter what anyone says, drinking before 5 does not make you an alcoholic, it makes you a smart, frugal, thrill seeker ! 

The LADIES
Right behind the invention of TV on DVD is the man who invented the two piece bathing suit. We all know boobies and bottoms look better when scantily clad, and tan. Additionally, the high school girl you used to hook up with is home for the summer, and maybe as "needy" as you are. Also, summer fabrics are the best because you know the ladies look good in white ! Also, the recent trend of those little thin dresses has thankfully caught on. Lets hope that is here to stay. 

DO's and DON'Ts
DON't forget sunscreen. Skin cancer is real. 
DON'T fall asleep on the beach. If this means avoiding the last beer, so be it. 
DO have a drink or two on the beach. 
DON'T rock your mother or father's swim wear. C'mon people, get with the times. Skin is in.
DO rock a fresh pair of vans. Flip Flops are done. 
DON'T forget your size. Fat girls- I'M TALKING TO YOU.
DON'T be an idiot and have to take summer school. 
DON'T forget your family. Make time for the ones you love. 
DON'T Forget your sunglasses. These block the rays, and prevent the ladies from knowing you you are staring at. 
DON'T Poop in the ocean.
DO pee in the ocean- every chance you get .

Sorry I Like Photoshop

Count Down: One Month

The count down is officially on! The annual trip to Bethany Beach is once again in our sites.  Yesterday, May 28th, marked the one month point.  This year as previously seen on the blog t-shirts will be made and worn till they fall apart.  Another focus for this years trip is tailgating the 4th of July parade.  Hopefully there will be fireworks this year, fingers crossed.  Lord only knows i cannot wait for the sea breeze, the lovely Bethany ladies, sandwiches while watching Wimbledon, and Ian's favorite gummy teeth.  This will mostly likely and is always the longest month of the year.
