Every now and again, it's nice to get out of town for a couple of days and just take a break. This last weekend my wife did one of those last minute, no planning, pack up the kids and go long weekenders. Thursday night we packed up after work and went to the beach. Destin, Florida to be exact. We've got some friends that live there that offered to put us up for the weekend, so we did. Scott & Britt have been great friends for years, and they own and run a toy store down in the Destin Commons. Better people than them, I've not met.
Anyways, it was a wonderful break, but one thing I found is that I missed riding, so I'm now looking around for a good trailer solution for my scooter(s). So far it looks like my best option is either an 8' flat bad trailer for about $799 which offers the added flexability to be used for things other than the scooters, or a trailer in bag which is a motorcycle scooter only solution for $1200, which offers a better storage solution when not in use. I haven't made a decision yet, but I'm certainly looking.
This morning however, was pure pleasure. Morning temperatures around 70, very light traffic as I came in a little later than usual, and just a borderline euphoria of being back on the bike after three days in the Durango, including a 2 hour stretch sitting in construction traffic on I-85 northbound, just south of Newnan, GA at 12:30 at night :(.
Vacations are always good, but there is no place like home...
Oh and John and Lil'Wifey, we waved as we turned west onto I-10 towards Pensacola, one of these trips we are hoping to find an hour or so to treat you all to some lunch in Tallahassee, just because :-).
