Stop #2: Boynton Beach, FL

We thought we were going to spend the summer of '08 in Durham but quickly learned that would not work out so we headed to southern FL in June '08. Boynton Beach to be exact. We decided to be smart and drive Patrick's little Honda down there since gas was so expensive and since I have so many miles on the Explorer. Ironically the A/C went out in Georgia...so we drove pretty much all the way (~10hrs) without an A/C in 90 degree+ weather. Needless to say when we got the A/c fixed and the gas was $4.39/gal we did not complain about that anymore. But we did learn on the way back to NC (at the end of the contract) the Honda was wayyy to small for all of our stuff and the kids. We lived there all summer...right on the beach, aka A Little Piece of Heaven. Loved FL, loved the beach, but the hospital could have been better. We spent most of the summer hanging out at the beach but we also ventured down to Key West with Brian for a few days. We also we on a cruise to Grand Cayman and Cozumel and lived through Tropical Storm Hannah. We actually drove down to Miami the day she came through...haha. Maggie and Henry discovered the ocean while we were there. We would sneak them down to the beach at sunset and Henry would bark and pounce at the waves :) Ahh, how I miss south FL and those white sandy beaches and that crystal clear water...
