My second
family left Wednesday after visiting for a few days. This is the family that
told us to visit Rockport when we were in Maine. So we did, but the Maine
Rockport was not what we were looking for, or what they were talking about.
Then it comes out they were talking about Rockport, Massachusetts. Close, but
not quite. I don’t know how that got cornfused, but it did. It all worked out
though.
This is the
family that we commonly refer to as the Griswold’s. If you’ve ever seen any of
the National Lampoon movies then you know the luck the Griswold family. My
second family has that sort of luck. They’re one of those-if some funky stuff
can happen to us it will- sorts of families. For example, the morning of their
flight out they woke up to a text stating their flight had been cancelled.
Thank you, Jet Blue. What a lovely way to wake someone up. Wednesday they left
to fly back home. Shortly thereafter I received a text from them stating their
flight was delayed. Griswold’s.
While
visiting we went to Tybee Island. Who doesn’t want to spend time on a beach? Half
of the Griswold clan, apparently. One of them doesn’t like sand. She’s the only
person I know that can take her shoes off, let the water hit her toes, and then
she tastes sand in her mouth. Go figure. Three of us had a blast in the water
while the other two decided to shop. All of us lathered up in sun block. All of
us missed spots, like whole backs, shoulders, feet. Are you starting to get the
idea here?
We took a
vacation with them a couple of years ago to the Smoky Mountains. We rented one
of those beautiful log cabins. Upon entering we realized we didn’t have running
water. That lasted for six hours.
There are
other instances of how bad luck follows this family around, but I don’t want to
overwhelm you, or make you think I’m making this all up. Trust me, even the
best of imaginations couldn’t make this up! J
If it weren’t for bad luck would you have
any luck? Do you or your family have Griswold incidences? Do you like beaches
and sand?
