Our Last Summer Fling

Jason and I wanted to go to the beach last Saturday because I start work on Monday. It was going to be our "last fling" before getting back to the grind. But of course, after a week of hot sunny weather, Saturday was rainy. So instead, Jason suggested we go to the small town of Apalachicola, just over an hour away. It is a very small charming town with about a dozen shops, boutiques, and antique stores. Most everything was too expensive for our little budget, but it was still fun to look. After being deprived of (window) shopping for so long, I was feeling pretty excited to have discovered this place. All we ended up buying was dinner, seafood, of course, which was excellent. For dessert we went to an old fashioned ice cream parlor. Jason got a shake and I got an ice cream scoop which they topped with free hot fudge when I asked nicely. All in all, it wasn't quite the "fling" we had in mind for our last free weekend, but a very good day and a great find. We'll definitely be back. In fact, we'd love to take you there!
