last year, after submitting a piece of writing about why i love to teach at the particular place where i work, i won a $675 gift certificate for a spa/resort at the coast. it wasn't because the writing was spectacular or anything, it just got me entered into a raffle, which i won, to my dismay. i've only won one other thing in my life, and it was after crossing my fingers at an elementary school assembly in which they showed us a real live smoker's lung. i won a boom box that day, and complained about having to carry it home, because it was also the year that i insisted on playing saxophone, the heaviest instrument in the band, and the most awkward to carry. it was just too much with my new sound system. anyway, our trip was wonderful. we actually used the gift certificate on two different trips, so after 2 nights' stay, breakfast in bed times two, and all other meals, our total bill at check out was $2.49. i swear to god.
before i post the random highlights from the trip, you have to see this video of adah last july, in which she is happily squealing:
she was definitely more apprehensive of the ocean this time around, but still had a great time:
